Note di degustazione
(47% cabernet sauvignon, 45% syrah, 5% zinfandel and 3% petit verdot) Medium ruby. Aromas of raspberry, black licorice, violet, menthol and nutty oak. Concentrated, high-toned flavors of wild black fruits and licorice pastille. Offers the powerful sweet berry fruit and high alcohol of a ruby port. Dense and thick, but with adequate acidity. Has enough fruit to stand up to the somewhat aggressive alcohol on the back end.

The 2001 Optimus (a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Syrah, 5% Zinfandel, and 3% Petit Verdot with 15.4% alcohol) is a blockbuster. A dense purple color precedes the sumptuous perfume of blueberries, blackberries, acacia flowers, and licorice. The small percentages of Petit Verdot and Zinfandel along with the huge amount of Syrah give this wine much more up-front, accessible aromatic and flavor profiles. Drink this beautiful red now and over the next 10-12 years. Tel. (805) 227-1588
