Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and espresso notes, a blend of 92% Cab Sauv, 6% Cab Franc, 1% of each Merlot and Petit Verdot, aged for 15 month in French oak (66% new). On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with currants, herb, tobacco, fig and smoky oak spice notes. Firm tight tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao and toasty spice, needs time to develop, cellar a while, try in 2025!

Aug 14th, 2023This is an exceptionally well-balanced wine with acidity, velvet tannin and alcohol (14.5%) perfectly offsetting the abundant fruit. Cassis, black cherry, tobacco leaf, blackberry, eucalyptus, blueberry, violet and cedar are present plus just the hint of dried fruit showing the tertiary development to come. Very long and silky finish. A fabulous wine

Dec 2nd, 2022Medium ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, licorice, and vanilla. Plus body, plus acid, plus tannins. Exquisitely smooth and integrated on the palate, with soft, grainy tannins. Even a hint of banana on the palate. Long finish. Drinking well now but well worth cellaring. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot.
