12 bottles of 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon from Black Coyote Chateau, Staggs Leap

A deep, blue nose holds the promise of rich, roundly structured fruit with hints of peppercorn and lavender. The palate is soft, supple berry fruit; blueberry, blackberry, and cassis, with hints of toasty oak. This wine has great fruit up front, follows through on the palate, and finishes very clean. A well-balanced, very accessible wine, this wine is made to easily enjoy from now until 2012.
