Trinite Estate ‘Acaibo’ Sonoma County 2016

Description

95 Points, Decanter; 94 Points, Jane Anson; 94 Points, James Suckling; 93 Points Wine Advocate ” Rich, heady and expressive nose – ripe and concentrated, fragranced with scented black cherry notes, dark chocolate powder, tobacco, coffee grains and some touches of exotic spices, cinnamon and clove.”Blackcurrant and dark chocolate, tobacco and liquorice notes growing and deepening.”Gorgeous clarity on the palate, really precise fruit flavours – strawberry and red cherry given body by the texture which is chewy and fleshy – tannins fill the mouth but they’re so well executed, cushioning the fruit so effortlessly. This also has a chalkiness and minerality on show with wet stone, graphite, pencil lead and mint.”Sweet fragrant peony and blackberry fruits, some earthy hawthorn notes, plenty of life, waves of flavour and flesh, with cocoa bean, tobacco, sage and underbrush on the finish.”Blackberries and blueberries with violets and other flowers. Hints of stones and dark mushrooms, too. Medium to full body and firm, silky tannins. Creamy texture. Dusty and delicious.”Organically FarmedBottle:750mlVarietal:72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% MerlotAlcohol %:13.1Soils:clay/loam soils and a volcanic subsoilRegion:Chalk Hill, Sonoma County, CaliforniaAging:12-18 months 100% French oak, 80% new
