Deep Woods Estate 2001 Boneyard Aug 04 (Bordeaux Blend)

After an unexciting Cabernet Merlot, this one restored my faith in their ability to make a good Cabernet blend. This is a smart, well made, quality, clean wine that just needs time to show its best. Chocolate, blackcurrant, cold tea, cigar box, milk chocolate all finish with drying persistence. Ultra-fine, unobtrusive tannins combine with fresh acid and pure fruit to provide a firm but supple consistency, a solid structure and harmonious, medium weight package. Rated as Highly Recommended with *** for value, the rating should increase as the wine matures around 2009+.
