Alpha Omega Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Napa Valley

-

(79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot)

The nose is fruity, fine, structured, relatively powerful and offers intensity. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and touches of spice associated with a hint of Sichuan pepper, fine notes of red fruits and a very discreet vegetal hint. The palate is fruity, well - balanced, well - structured and offers a nice freshness, tension / acid frame as well as a good and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis cream, juicy small wild fruits and fine touches of strawberry jam associated with a touch of raspberry as well as small notes of licorice, a few slight notes of toasted oak and a (very) slight hint of carameliza­tion. Tannins are elegant, medium grain, straight, structurin­g and a but firm. Good length.

Score : 16.25
