2016 Volker Eisele Family Estate Terzetto, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The wine is a rich, deep burgundy in the glass, with perfumed aromas of malted milk chocolate, black plum, and red cherry, with hints of saddle leather and wild fennel. The tannins are elegant and long, framing layered flavors of dark chocolate, ripe cherries, espresso, black currant, and the sweet spiciness of a black mission fig.

TASTING NOTES:

This offers some intense and rich aromas of blackcurrants with violet-like florals and blackberries. The palate offers a smooth, bold and balanced array of ripe dark plums and long, succulent tannins. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot.
