2014 Surrealist Red Wine Napa Valley

This is an unusually proportioned blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon with a large amount - 41% - of Petit Verdot. Most wine drinkers describe this wine as having dark fruits, cigar, tobacco, and oak, with spices such as pepper and licorice. James Laube agrees, describing it as “smoky and toasty, with a strong yet integrated oak presence joining a chorus of blackberry, black licorice, dried herb, and cedar flavors, ending with a chewy lead-pencil edge.” Wine Advocate scores it an impressive 98 points. We sum it all up as ‘delicious’.
