Laudatio

I recently blogged about the Cabernet Dorsa in this wine, which I tasted in last year's Wine Fair. This Swiss wine made from Cabernet Dorsa, Gamaret and Pinot Noir has the grapes vinified separately (presumably in steel) and then aged in oak barriques before assemblage. It was quite an impressive offering.

The wine was a nice deep purple ruby colour, with a sweet berry nose (and just a slight hint of jamminess). It was soft and fruity on the palate with noticeable acidity, and this acidity together with some tannins formed a nice backbone carrying on to a predominantly acid finish. Oak was not particularly noticeable.
