Captûre 2012 Alliance Red (Spring Mountain District)

Country: US / Alliance
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Captûre / Spring Mountain District

This is made from a majority Cabernet Sauvignon, with 11% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. This makes for a softly layered tease of cinnamon, cedar and brush, with the tannins dry and grippy. Black licorice and violet dot the nose and palate. Drink now–2020.
