Bonterra Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
Mendocino County, California, United StatesThis Down Under-like blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and a dash of merlot is fun to drink. Playing both sides of the fence winemaker Blue blends French and American oak (43 percent new) to come up with a spicy, peppery, fragrant red from a terrific vintage. It has fine body and density for the price but the real story is the smoky cocoa, coffee notes flavours and sweet blackberry fruit. You can drink it now or keep a year or two.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.95 | 750ml |
