Tasting Notes
"As you would enjoy the varied nuances and subtle layers of a Fellini film, so you should enjoy Cardinale. The 2008 has an aromatic element that evokes violets and orange blossoms with a fruit component of dark cherry combined with a palate that offers currant, ripe blackberry and toast with a velvety texture on a long, drawn finish."
- Christopher Carpenter, Cardinale Winemaker
Acclaim
96 Points - "...The 2008 exhibits a dense purple color along with sweet kirsch, unsmoked cigar tobacco, toasty oak and black currant characteristics. The wine hits the palate with a resounding opulence, full-bodied richness, moderate, sweet, well-integrated tannins and a long, heady finish... the 2008 should last for 20-25+ years..."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, #192, December 2010
