Moone Tsai Wines
Cor Leonis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon



Dark red-ruby. Cool, slightly medicinal scents of blackberry, blueberry coulis, black cherry, bitter chocolate and menthol, plus a faint suggestion of cooked fruits. Fine-grained and dense but light on its feet on entry, with firm acidity and a touch of herbs enlivening the wine's dominant dark berry flavors. This firmly structured, slightly medicinal midweight could still use a couple more years to soften and put on more flesh; I found it a bit more gripping and youthful than the bottle of 2009 I tasted a year ago. Turned a tad dry and herbal with air. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2020)

A phenomenal wine. Big and fruit forward, but still smooth and refined.

A full bodied cab with graphite, cassis, blackberries, and spring flowers on the nose. Not overly tannic even at this young age. Very complex with a long finish.
