2012 Sarocka Estate

Estate: Sarocka Estate

Region: Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, United States of America

Tasting Note:November 20, 2015

Decanted for 2 hours. Dark, deep and opaque ruby red. Nose had a lot of dark berries, and a ton of cassis. Slow attack then it hits hard. High tannins (8.5/10) and full bodied. Long lingering finish. Beautiful and voluptuous wine. Second time having this and I loved it. Cannot wait to buy the 2013 next year. Our WOTN!

This Bordeaux-blend is made of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. We love that Petit Verdot!
