terlato episode bordeaux-style red blend (napa valley)

點擊次數：2515

This is Terlato’s ambitious entry into the cult Cabernet lottery. Based on Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it’s an elaborate wine, deep and long in blackberry, cherry, currant, mocha and sandalwood flavors. The tannins are impressive, yet young, giving a tough, astringent mouthfeel. But ageability is brought into question by some superripeness, in the form of raisins.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 90

Tannic and hard, with black currant, black cherry, pencil lead, cedar and spice flavors. This is a tight young wine now, but it shows promise. A blend of Cab and Merlot, it should open and improve over the next six to eight years.——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 88
