Tamber Bey 2009 Deux Chevaux Vineyard Rabicano Red (Yountville)

Country: US / Deux Chevaux Vineyard Rabicano
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Tamber Bey / Yountville

Lots of blackberry, plum, currant and oak flavors in this classic Bordeaux blend. It’s so ripe, it’s almost sweet, except that the finish is thoroughly dry, with a stimulating scour of tannins and citrusy acids. Right now it’s direct and not very complex, leading to the question of ageability. All indications are that it’s not a wine you want to cellar, so drink up.
