Macdonald, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero The rocky character of this

The rocky character of this very stony vineyard really comes through in 2013

which means contained ripeness

A discreet touch of reduction still allows the earthy red berry and black cherry aromas to express themselves

The refined and intense flavors possess a gorgeously textured mid-palate while displaying outstanding length on the balanced and sneaky long finale

Macdonald, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero The rocky character of thisThe 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from MacDonald is an absolute delight. Aromatic, lifted and finessed, the 2014 is also an unusual vintage for a wine that is often quite inky and deep. On the other hand, this is aromatic, silky and medium in body, almost Burgundian in feel texturally. Although a lighter wine by Napa Valley standards, the 2014 possesses fine depth. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the wines freshness and overall poise. Rose
