Cadence Camerata Cara Mia Vineyard Red Mountain 06
Cadence Camerata Cara Mia Vineyard Red Mountain 06 received 91 points from Wine Spectator: "Firm in texture, with lots of violet and lavender overtones to the blackberry flavors, lingering against hints of tobacco and earth. Complex and interesting, but needs time to soften. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2011 through 2016. - H.S.
94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc. This is the very first time we’ve blended a full scale project (as opposed to a barrel or two) of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cab simply did not need Merlot or Petit Verdot in the blend – those barrels quickly diminished the power and focus of the blend. One barrel of low yield (one ton per acre) Cabernet Franc made the cut and provided a subtle expansion in profile. The aromas are classic Cabernet – savory, brambly red and black fruit, spice, and dust. The flavors show more of the same, but the hook is set by incredible energy that builds through the finish. The core of red fruit just keeps expanding on the palate and is complimented by powerful fine tannins on a long dusty finish. - the winery
