2007 Meteor Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / NAPA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
(a blend of Clone 7, Clone 4 and Clone 337, the last of which which general manager Jason Alexander says gives the |cabernet franc high notes|): Medium red-ruby. Sexy aromas of redcurrant and violet, with an ephemeral minerality that carries through onto the palate. Juicy and spicy in the mouth, with lively acidity framing the dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors. Not a particularly fleshy style but quite penetrating.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2011Wine Advocate | Rating: 93
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits abundant aromas of crushed rock, charcoal, creme de cassis and subtle smoke in a ripe, full-bodied, exuberant style with terrific intensity, texture and concentration. There is not a hard edge to be found in this pure, dramatic Cabernet. It should drink well for 15 or more years.Drink Dates: 2010-2025Author: Robert Parker
