Signorello Padrone 2008

Napa Valley, California, United StatesBig cassis jam, blackberry, floral, vanilla, chocolate, licorice, peppery, spicy, savoury, saddle leather, waxy aromas, very good complexity... even a bit Pauillac-like. Rich, full, round, smooth palate with fine, integrated tannins. Chocolate, vanilla, blackberry jam, cassis, cedar, floral, leather, coffee, licorice and tobacco flavours. A bit warm on the finish but great fruit intensity, balance and finesse to last 7-10 years. The '08 Padrone is an 89/11 mix of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.Tasted: 23 August 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
