Note di degustazione
(14.7% alcohol): Dark medium ruby. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and menthol. Then surprisingly sweet, pliant and filled in, but at the same time nicely energized by the cooler Coombsville site and a violet nuance. This pure, seamless Cabernet finishes with spice and violet notes, rich tannins and subtle rising length. It's delicious right now but has the intensity to go on for at least another decade.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid Reserve is a gorgeous wine layered with mocha, black cherries, and menthol. Warm spiced notes continue to develop in the glass as this extroverted, deeply expressive wine shows off its pedigree and class. This finish is simply striking. The 2008 Reserve will be fascinating to follow over the next decade, give or take.
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid is a gorgeous, fleshy wine. Finessed, supple tannins frame layers of dark red fruit, spices, tobacco, flowers, leather and licorice that emerge in this impeccably polished, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2008 Perseid should continue to drink well over the next decade or so. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. These three wines from Meteor are made from vineyards in Coombsville, which became California’s 16th AVA as we went to press. Tel. (707) 258-2900
Good red-ruby. More refined on the nose than the 2007, offering redcurrant, violet and tobacco. Then energetic and light on its feet, with subtle rock and tobacco flavors perfuming the mouth. Rounder and more pliant than the 2007, seemingly with every bit as much extract. Very sexy, vibrant wine.
