This was the second "naked" bottle tasted tonight. Revana Family Vineyard cabernet sauvignon, 2006. This exotic and excellent wine, produced by the "Screaming Eagle" -famed Heidi Barrett has the finesse of a black jaguar in a bottle. Powdered dark chocolate in a spice box with cardamom, nutmeg and redwood forrest. A very long finish. In the words of the winemaker:
Heidi Barrett’s Tasting Notes:
The 2006 Revana Cabernet is deep ruby in color with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry and cassis. Hints of sweet French oak lead you into the first sip confirming this is a special wine. The wine is full, yet soft in the mouth, dense and structured with mouth coating velvety tannins. Flavors on the palate match the aromas of ripe black fruits layered with toasty, elegant oak components. The flavors persist with good balance and tremendous length. The 2006 Cabernet will benefit from a few years in the cellar and will be at its best from 2012 to 2020."
