Note di degustazione
A blend of the very best from the three vineyards, To Kalon, Las Piedras, and Dr. Crane, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Magnificent Seven is pure magic and one of the top wines in the vintage as well as perfect Cabernet. Unfortunately, there’s only one barrel, but it offers a deep purple color as well as an extraordinary bouquet of blackcurrants, lavender, camphor, scorched earth, and Asian spices. About as massive as they come, with a deep, layered texture, it nevertheless is insanely pure, has ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a finish that won’t quit. Hats off to winemaker Philippe Melka and the whole team at Vice Versa. This is a display of consistency and quality that’s both rare and awe-inspiring.

Composed of the best fruit from the Las Piedras, Dr. Crane and To Kalon vineyards and aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnificent Seven comes strutting out of the glass like a rock star with decadent notions of crème de cassis, baked plums, Black Forest cake and licorice with hints of cedar chest, dark chocolate, mossy bark and truffles. Full-bodied, super concentrated and with a rock-solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins, it has seamless freshness knitting together the many layers of flavors, finishing on a lingering earthy note. Only 25 cases were made.
