2007 Checkerboard Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District, USA

$349.99 USD

Press
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon has put on weight since last year and performed better from bottle than it did from barrel. A dense purple color is followed by aromas of charcoal, bay leaf, scorched earth, creme de cassis, espresso and black currant. Deep, full-bodied and opulent with subtle oak as well as white chocolate and graphite notes, this is a beauty of full-bodied power and evolving complexity. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. This small, 12-acre, boutique operation on the south side of Diamond Mountain debuted in 2006 (awarded 91 points in last year's report). Approximately 350 cases of this wine made by well-known consultant Martha McClellen are produced. (RP)
