2007 Trinchero Cabernet Sauvignon Mario's Vineyard, Napa (750ml)

The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Mario’s Vineyard (from a 13-acre parcel on St. Helena near their new winery) is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This densely purple wine is youthful, but displays a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers and forest floor intermixed with creme de cassis, black cherry, spice box and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, rich, and impressive, it needs 3-4 years of cellaring and should drink well for 20-25 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. 90+ points - The Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009
