Cardinale 2016 Napa Valley Proprietary Red Wine
Lisa Perrotti Brown beschreibt den Cardinale 2016 im Oktober 2018: The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is blended of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot. It opens with compelling chocolate box and licorice scents over a core of black and red currants. warm plums and baking spices with hints of cedar chest and pencil lead. The palate is full-bodied with layers of cassis and kirsch flavors framed by firm. grainy tannins and fabulous freshness. finishing long and spicy. 4.772 cases produced.
Antonio Galloni am 31. Dezember 2018: The 2016 Cardinale is distinctly aromatic and nuanced. In 2016. winemaker Chris Carpenter built Cardinale around a core of Spring Mountain fruit. Perhaps for that reason. Cardinale is a bit more refined in the early going than is often the case. Silky. fine-grained tannins and mid-weight structure frame expressive dark cherry. plum. chocolate and new leather. but it is really the wine's overall feel that stands out most. A dollop of Merlot adds to a feeling of openness in this super-expressive Cardinale from winemaker Chris Carpenter. A range of sites in Stags Leap. Howell Mountain. Diamond Mountain. Mt. Veeder and St. Helena round out the blend.
