A beautiful effort from Heidi Barrett, this is a big, ripe, somewhat soft wine, stuffed with blackberry, cherry, coffee and cocoa flavors, and splashed with Provençal herbs. Rich and tannic now, it should age for a decade. (5/2007)
From winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett of Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Paradigm Winery, and Grace Family Vineyards. This Revana Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of the 2003 vintage showing off ripe black cherry and cassis aromas. The purity of fruit is very enticing, with underlying layers of smoky, toasted French oak that add an accent of complexity. Round and rich in the mouth with gobs of fruit, silky tannins, wonderful structure, and length. The flavors last a long time on the palate.
