Tamber Bey Vineyards Deux Chevaux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Yountville, USA

丹柏貝酒莊雙馬園赤霞珠紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3809

While the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Deux Chevaux Vineyard does exhibit some attractive cherry and cassis shadings, they're overshadowed by notes of scorched coffee and burnt sugar. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, nicely textured but overly woody, with those barrel flavors lingering on the finish. Perhaps 19 months in 65% new French oak was too much for the fruit?

Ever since Tamber Bey made the switch from Oakville fruit to their vineyard in Yountville, their Cabernets have dropped in quality. This ’09 is dry, tannic and uninteresting, with a harshness that makes it difficult to appreciate the blackberry and cherry fruit.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 85
