Description
2010 elizabethjohn Cabernet Sauvignon "Old World Blend"Also an Estate bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon, our "Old World Blend" was a collection of barrels from lower elevation blocks that captured the typicity of the vintage. The cooler temperatures allowed certain vineyard blocks to develop traditional old-world characteristics: tension, bramble and verve. Our expression of the old world displays a subtle bouquet of fresh truffle and spring flowers, lifted by musky white pepper and mineral nuances. The wine is well defined and focused, with remarkable texture. Patience has been rewarded at this ten year interval; however, the substance of this wine suggests it will last at least until 2040, most expressive with 1-2 hours decanting.
Jamie's Tasting Notes
“My Old-World pallet has always celebrated this blend, appreciating the effort required to discover the subtlety and nuance of the wine. It is constantly changing, and truly a cerebral expression. On occasion it transports me to Pomerol, only to evolve back into its Napa pedigree. Dynamic and intriguing, this wine captures what I enjoy most about wine".
