Adamvs Téres 2016
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, United StatesTéres is a cabernet sauvignon dominant blend, tipped with 6% merlot, 4% cabernet franc from the winery's Howell Mountain estate. Philippe Melka is the consultant winemaker, so you can imagine the league and profile they're striving for with this massively weighted bottle. This spent 22 months in 55% new French barrels. Deep, dark, and concentrated, this is intense with blackberry, black cherry, tobacco on a full+ bodied palate. Tannins are ample and granular, framing the plush palate to a lingering, perfumed vanilla finish. Lots of stuffing here, but well integrated. A massive wine that can be taken now with a decant, or cellared for the next 5+ years easy.Tasted: 13 May 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| USA | $145.00 | 750ml | USA |
