2013 Jon Nathaniel Wines Bodacious

Estate: Jon Nathaniel Wines

Region: Rutherford, Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America

Tasting Note:July 10, 2016

Ruby red with garnet edges. Savory on attack which quickly dissipates with slight smokiness, dust and warm baking spices. Layered on the palate with cinnamon, nutmeg and warm black and blueberries. Great structure and mouthfeel. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full body.

This is a Bordeaux blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. This wine showed a lot better the first time we tried it (now) compared to at the estate in August (87 points). Not sure why.
