Marston Family Vineyard – Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 – Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley

The nose is fruity and offers juiciness and freshness. It reveals notes of blackberry, ripe cassis and small notes of crushed raspberry associated with touches of small crushed blue fruits as well as a hint of black plum, violet and sens of the place. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, an acidulous frame as well as a beautiful tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of raspberry associated with fine touches of cherry as well as discreet hints of red berries, liquorice and mild tobacco leaf. Tannins are elegant.
