St. Supery, 2009

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich, brambly, blackberry nose, quite chocolaty. Ripe, succulent, concentrated, with very firm tannins, but the fruit quality is marred by the high alcohol. A shame, as this has weight and density and complexity. Moderate acidity and length.

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Very sweet style. The wine shows a lot of alcohol, almost jammy.

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Port-like aromas mingle with the ripe sweet fruit. Rich and sweet. Big-boned.
