Nottingham Cellars 2009 Supremacy Red (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / Supremacy
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Nottingham Cellars / Livermore Valley

A rich, concentrated Livermore Valley Bordeaux blend, comprised of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and lesser percentages of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. This vintage of Supremacy has a big presence, smelling of earth and cinnamon, a layering of blackberry and chocolate lingering in the background. A wine with great texture and mellowing tannins ready to drink now or in 5–7 years.
