Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet Sauvignon

Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $55.00 per bottle

Description: Our third JLV vintage continues in a similar style as the ’99 and ‘00. After 30 months in French oak and 18 months bottle ageing, decanting will add to the rich texture and density of this wine. Flavors trend towards cherries and cassis and at this point I believe the wine to be a bit ahead of our earlier JLV vintages at the same age. Scents of subdued toasty oak and a pinch of earth and compliment the bright fruit. The finish is round and lingering with soft ripe tannins and hints of vanilla. Again, though quite tasty now (decanting recommended) with proper cellaring, it should continue to improve for another 5 years.
