Meteor Vineyard Special Family Reserve Napa Cabernet 2012 Rated 96VM

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 96
A deep, dense wine, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve boasts fabulous texture and resonance. The flavors are dark, bold and incisive, with hints of mocha and spice that add expressive dimensions of complexity. The 2012 can be drunk young, but it will be even better with a few more years in bottle. Drink 2017-2024. (Antonio Galloni on October 2014)

Wine Tasting Notes
A deep rich color with a brilliant red-blue hue announces the Meteor Vineyard Special Family Reserve Napa Cabernet. A wine where red currents and a bright cherry-chocolate cordial fruit dominate the aromas, overlaid with highlights of blackberry, red peppercorns, clove, and cinnamon. On the palate the fruit pops; dense, lush, and silky. The intensity of the fruit is balanced with deeper base notes of black pepper and tobacco leaf. The tannins are exquisitely supple for a wine of this age.
