2009 Relic Artefact Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley


Just an utterly lovely fun wine. Crisp nose of cherries and spice. Lovely sweet (not RS) fruit, cherries, eucalyptus, black pepper. Fine resolved tannins and nice acidity. No hint of heat at all (15.3% ABV). Bright finish of red fruit and spice. Nothing profound here, but just a fun wine to drink. A small amount of Syrah was blended in. With grilled lamb rib chops.
