Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot and 4% Malbec, the 2007 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red Wine has a deep garnet color and slowly evolving nose of incense, new leather, spice box and dried mulberries over a core of crème de cassis, preserved plums and mocha. Full-bodied with a firm backbone of chewy tannins and great freshness, the palate gives up plenty of savory layers and finishes on a persistent pepper and spice note. (LPB) (12/2017)
Aromas of crushed black fruits, menthol, licorice, violet, espresso and cocoa powder. At once primary and suave, with more inner-mouth perfume and aromatic lift than past vintages of this wine. The dark raspberry and violet flavors offer terrific intensity and aromatic lift. The tannin management here is far more sophisticated than just a few years ago here, when the tannins had a tendency toward hardness. But then this wine has only been racked twice so far. Sullivan noted that 2007 was the first year in which David Abreu controlled the vineyard work; Michel Rolland will finalize the blend, and the bottling will not occur until at least August. Outstanding potential here. (ST) (5/2009)
