WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES: Crimson with tinges of violet in the robe, the Mystae already presents some tertiary and earthy aromatics. On a first taste the higher proportion of Cabernet is evidenced in the tannin structure and mid-palate weight. As the wine evolves in the glass, licorice, Cabernet florality, and undernotes of graphite are expressed. Further tasting reveals density and persistence across the palate with hints of golden syrup and oak that is present, yet remains enigmatic. As the finish lingers with hints of musk and perfume from the Cabernet Franc, this 2013 Mystae proves generous and complex even at the earliest stages of what is sure to be a long life in the cellar.
