Paoletti 2007 Non Plus Ultra Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Non Plus Ultra
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Paoletti / Napa Valley

This is a very big, extractedly fruity Bordeaux blend. Right now, it’s tannic and sharp and dry, but it has explosive blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate flavors. Rather too angular and awkward for complete enjoyment, but cellar for 4–6 years and try again.
