'94 Viader

[MikeE]

Well, I loved this upon release and still love it a couple years later. There is so much clarity of fruit and balance between its parts. The ripe cassis and blackberry flavors are complemented by a slight hint of violets (not as much as in other Cab Franc related wines but nicely present nonetheless) and earthy tones. The fruit is so focused... it's just a beatiful wine. I have to say that this is far and away the best Viader I've tasted and one of the best '94s CA Cabs, which is saying alot in my book.
