This bold wine is spicy, soft and supple in style, with a velvety texture and balanced richness. The fruit is dense and succulent, a mix of dark plum, cherry and cassis that play well against notes of cigar box, cedar and dark chocolate.
Mirror Description
Mirror Oakville is a classical tour de force of this noble varietal grown in an appellation so near and dear to my heart. Growing up in Rutherford, in the Napa Valley, this wine is a walk down memory lane when I would ride my bicycle and point my nose up to the dry, dusty nuances carried in the dry Fall air. Anyone who spent enough time in vineyards wore that smell on their skin and clothes like a musk. I can remember this like yesterday.
It checks the many boxes of pure black cherry, crisp dried currant fruits, black olive, and clove scents. The palate offers a plethora of bold characters! Dark chocolates flood over the tongue to meet with fresh dark fruits, youthful acid liveliness, and a strong, and driven tannin, that carries on a lengthy back palate.
There is muscle, yet restrain, in this wine and without hesitation I believe that if well cared for, this very enjoyable Cabernet will survive to 2044 and beyond. Aged 21 months in 80% new French Oak and bottled unfiltered and unfined.
