2013 Chateau Belle-Vue La Renaissance Red, Lebanon (750ml) Paso Robles The Cabernet from this vineyard

The Cabernet from this vineyard ripens early with excellent color

but it has a way to go before its ready

and in the 2014 vintage there is a density in both flavor and texture that draws me right to it

this bourbon remained undisturbed for 15 years to age in deep-charred heavy oak untouched by human hands

This Syrah has a rugged elegance to it
