My friend, who was with me at the tasting, bought a bottle of this and brought it home. It retailed for $95. Talked to him last night and he loved it. The look on his face when he said how he liked it said it all.
The tasting notes were very solid. Great fruit, good balance, a wine of depth and subtlety. This wine also should have many years ahead. It is a classic Bordeaux style blend, Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Lovely wine, something that all types of wine drinkers can really enjoy. I think that it will also be exceptional with food in a couple of years. Right now bursting with fruit.
Roy Estate is located in Napa.
2nd place out of 6. Not really competition for the Araujo, but still a great wine.
