The 2007 Erna Schein ‘Spare Me’ exhibits a brilliant deep purple color edged with a magenta hue. Sweet and spicy on the nose with creamy vanilla, cherry cordial and a hint of smoky BBQ sauce, this wine has a lovely approachability. Flavors of plum, toasty oak and espresso are supported by a nicely balanced acidity. Soft, ripe tannins carry everything through to the lingering and juicy finish. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cab Franc. 280 cases produced.
Good full red-ruby. Currant, plum, licorice and spice on the nose, with hints of exotic fruits and fresh herbs; very cabernet. Sweet, suave and open-knit, with a chocolatey ripeness making this very easy to drink already. Finishes broad, with substantial ripe tannins and lingering plum and spice notes. 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 10
