Drinking Window: 2014-2025
One would think that after letting this wine stay in barrel for thirty months that I could have come up with a better name than Red #2 - certainly a failure of imagination on my part. Happily, I think the wine itself is anything but. After a heat-wave at the end of August and beginning of September in 2008 was I concerned about relying too heavily on the Bedrock Cabernet, which seemed to possess some jutting tannins. Since I strongly believe in picking Cabernet at sane sugar levels, and feel that some greenness is part of the varieties natural character, I was not about to hang the fruit to 28 brix to find those "melted" tannins so loved by many Napa counterparts. Rather, I decided to beef up the amount of Merlot and Petit Verdot in the final wine. The 9% Petit Verdot was cofermented with the Cabernet, while the Merlot was vinified on its own. The wine aged in 100% new French oak from Darnajou, Boutes, Bordelaise, and Seguin Moreau for thirty months and was only racked at bottling. Though still possessing plenty of structure I am pleasantly surprised by this wine - it is remarkably close to the old-school claret-style blend I was hoping for. Six barrels made.
インターナショナル・ワイン・セラー 93 ポイント (Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar) , May/June '11
(a blend of 59% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot and 9% petit verdot): Deep ruby. Intensely perfumed nose offers explosive dark berry and cherry liqueur aromas accented by vanilla, licorice and pipe tobacco. Deep and sweet but focused, with pure boysenberry and cherry flavors framed by supple tannins. Picks up floral pastille and mocha notes and gains energy as it opens in the glass. Finishes sweet and extremely long, with a lingering mocha note. In a fairly opulent style, but in no way heavy. 93 points
