Review Detail
Cabernet Blend
February 17, 2011
2008 Elan Vineyard Cabernet Merlot
Wine Rating
90
Deep red to purple in the glass, primary fruit characters of blackberry, plum and vanillian oak are evident on the nose, the palate has restrained blackberry on the front palate, and needs time to show more in the mid palate. The finish however is exceptional with savoury plum, intertwined with black pepper and fine tannins. A wine with obvious potential.
