"A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Juliet comes from a higher elevation, hillside vineyard. Its deep purple color is followed by sweet notes of camphor, graphite, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with forest floor and underbrush characteristics. Rich, complex, dramatic and already drinkable, it should continue to offer delicious complexity for 15 years. This winery was founded in 2002 by Ed and Trish Snider. The production is modest at 4,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon from their holdings in the Stags Leap AVA as well as other sites, particularly Bacigalupi, Dutton Ranch and Llewellyn." eRobertParker.com #215, Oct 2014 |
