2012 The Wine Foundry Le Chabrot Hennessey Ridge

Estate: The Wine Foundry
Region: Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United States of America
Vineyard: Lewis Vineyard

Tasting Note:November 20, 2015

Blind tasting, wine number 3, bag number 1. Dark and opaque ruby red. Nose started off tight with chalk and a stinky shoebox. Once it aired out for a little bit over 2 hours it started to explode with cassis and blueberries. Moderate body with moderate plus tannins (7/10). Needs times to integrate together. Started off a little sweet on the palate and a little bit of heat. Very young and was thinking Cabernet Sauvignon or Cab Blend. Definitely needs time to integrate and will be delicious then.

Special winemaking project for people who want to make their own wine and choose how involved to get.
