All indigenous wild yeast fermentation

as dusty dried florals and hints of animal musk come forward

not too intense with sweet black cherry fruit

Laroque is very clearly one of the sleepers of the year

Delicate and persistent aroma with hints of licorice

Rivers-Marie - Lore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 (1.5L) Cité de Carcassonne All indigenous wild yeast fermentationDeep garnet purple colored, it needs a fair bit of swirling to reveal tantalizing scents of boysenberries, chocolate covered cherries and crushed black and red currants with hints of menthol, tobacco leaf, violets, cinnamon stick and cedar chest. Medium to full bodied, the palate bursts with perfumed black fruits, backed up by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced. Just stunning.
