Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2014 NYSA is sweet and rich, with a Cabernet Sauvignon like aroma of dark chocolate, leather with dark floral (roses) notes and an edge of earthy-dusty Dundee hills character.
The flavors are rich, bold, and bright, with a concentrated fruit core, rich with bright dark berries, dark cherries, leathery notes and intense dark chocolate.
The mouthfeel is semi-sweet with rich, refined concentrated tannins, filling the mouth and bringing power and strength to the wine. The texture is harmonious, rich and lasting.
This wine can be enjoyed now with or without decanting and will benefit from a few years of cellaring.
Vineyard Notes
