Elizabeth Spencer Napa Valley Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Special Cuvée 2007
Elizabeth Spencer Napa Valley Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Special Cuvée 2007
Hot - high alcohol taste - almost as if fortified w/ cognac - overpowering the black cherry fruits, with layer of mocha and spice. Tasted by the glass at 'fyve' (ala five as in Pentagon) at Ritz Carlton Pentagon City, Arlington - perhaps open too long? Or kept too warm?
