Note di degustazione
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard, which I tasted and reviewed last year right after bottling, has opened up somewhat and displays a dense ruby/purple color, a big, sweet kiss of blueberry and black raspberry fruit, some creamy oak and a floral underpinning as well as some foresty notes. The wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and ripe, with sweet tannin and a long finish. This beauty should drink well for another 15-20 years.

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard is laced with bright red stone fruits, rose petal and spice notes, with silky tannins that add finesse to the wine's supple, inviting personality. This sweet, nicely layered Cabernet Sauvignon will drink well for the next 10-15 years. The addition of clone 337 Cabernet appears to have given the wine a bit more lift and brightness than in the past.
