Y Rousseau 2013 Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)

Country: US / Le Roi Soleil
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Y Rousseau / Mount Veeder

The addition of 5% Merlot softens this wine, a lovely representation of the wild mountain appellation from a vineyard 2,000-feet up. Juicy and layered, the wine shows restraint and elegance amidst a woodsy forest component of lean, tart fruit and cocoa powder.
