2014 Tuck Beckstoffer Mockingbird Red, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 2014 Mockingbird Red is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance made up of Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Its a rich and vibrant wine with a powerful yet elegant finish. The wine is made from nearly equal parts of three well-known and highly regarded vineyards in St Helena, Calistoga and Oakville.

Blend:73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc

TASTING NOTES:

Aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants and wet earth. Some fresh mushrooms. Full body, medium velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tight and structured. Needs two to three years to open. Impressive.
