Those
who know me, know I am a big fan of Pina wines. I am drinking this
Wolff Vineyard cabernet, one of many that they make at Pina. Only cabs,
100% no blending ALL CAB.
The color is nice, dark garnet as
expected. The nose is light, fruits of black berry, plums and light
spice. The first sip is nice, easy to take. Not big fruity cab. It
drinks
smooth with a mild fruit, more plum than black berry but
its there and oak, a little light toast and lighter spice. The finish
is a light tannin, but lasts. While writing this,
I wanted to say that it should be bigger. However it’s lasting well on the palate, up front on under the lip.
I
just ran it through the Vinturi for some air, after being open two
hours now. There is my fruit still a nice plumb more of the black
berry, a little juicy now and the tannins I
have been waiting on.
I smile just came out and now I am drinking a Pina cabernet. What does
this tell us, some wines need air, decanting, however you want to do
it. 2006 for a
vineyard like Pina is young, needing time. All said
and done it’s a solid 89 wine. Without the big big fruits, I am
thinking a few years will be OK.
