Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Professional Ratings

• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a bolder, slightly minty nose with a dark core of dusty fruit that is slightly stewed, similar to a compote. Still expressive, the nose shows great depth with many lively layers. On the palate, the wine shows great focus and precision with dense, chewy blackberry tones. The tannins are silky, while the wine shows balance with energetic acidity. Full-bodied and with a long finish, the wine is at a nice spot now but will continue to age for a couple more years. 43,000 bottles made

  Rich but precise, with a gorgeous beam of mulled black currant fruit backed by fig cake, loam and mint notes. The long, velvety finish stays well-focused. Drink now through 2014. 500 cases imported.

  Drawn from tightly planted vines in decomposed granite, some more than 20 years old,this wine achieves great fruit concentration while maintaining a beautifull herbals cabernet character. The finish is a ccented by and iron-like minerality and supple fruit tannins.
