2000 Allora Tresca

[winoweenie]

A super-premium bottling. This blend is 80% Cab, 10% Cab Franc, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec, and 2% Petite Verdot. Heady almost candied nose. Deep ruby. Spice, cassis, red brite fruits with a tad of plums, and some vanilla bean on the nose that all goes over to the palate. Soft entry, solid center, and a 4 lapper finish. One of the top wines I've had from this vintage. Still needs another 2-4 to peak. Very good 1st effort. 90/88. 69 by the box. 13% alc. WW
