2016 Cadence Coda, Red Mountain 1.5L Magnum

From: Washington, USA Varietals: 48% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon coda, n. a. A music passage of more or less independent character introduced after the completion of the essential parts of a movement, so as to form a satisfactory conclusion, b. The second label of Cadence winery. The home for barrels not essential to our estate or vineyard blends. Tasting Notes: Coda leads with merlot as in many years past, but you may notice that the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon is significantly smaller than in previous versions. The nose is already deep and broad, filled with spice, crunchy red fruit, pomegranate, and stones. These are echoed on the palate, where deep red fruit plays off the fresh acidity in waves of flavors. The tannins are intense, firm, refined, and perfectly balanced against the acid and fruit structure. This is poised, serious juice ready for a good decant or a couple of years in the cellar.
