Armailhac Vintage:2006 fresh and energetic medium full

fresh and energetic medium full flavors that are supple and classy

The 2018 Finca Piedra Infinita Gravascal has notes reminiscent of some wines from the Northern Rhône

While distinctly different from the Santa Cruz Mountain releases

There is good richness and plenty of volume to the tautly muscled medium weight plus flavors that possess a subtle minerality that continues onto the impressively long finish

with flavors of apple

Armailhac Vintage:2006 fresh and energetic medium full50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Sweet Cabernet fruit but slightly unformed. Very juicy and a bit simple. Then quite a welter of dry tannins. Not a charmer at this stage anyway. Just a tad brutal.
