Volker Eisele Family Estate
Terzetto Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Today is #cabernetday so I'll have to wait with my #MerlotThursday. A nice Napa Merlot /Cabernet blend will fit in with the celebration.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Nice nose of black currants, blackberries, wood, vanilla, chocolates, vinaigrette, graphite, leather, earth, wet leaves, vegetables, dark coffee, herbs, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Full bodied and bold with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, sweet raspberries, currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, vegetables, vinaigrette, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is interesting and tasty. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel.
This 12 year old is good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and shows some tannins (90 minutes).
Reminds me of a 20 year old Right Bank Bordeaux.
Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
The high alcohol is very nicely integrated by now, so watch out.
Thank you Wendy for sharing this with me.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Organic.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75 (current vintage).

2007 - full bodied yet well balanced with an elegant, smooth finish.

Very softened tannins. Plummy nose with blackberry and a hint of spice. A very nice cab blend

Fruit forward with nice finish. Soft tannins. Very drinkable now and should become more sophisticated with time
