2023 Cadenza Vineyards Cadenza

I first encountered the Cadenza wines in the tasting room at Allegro Vineyards in Brogue in May 2001.  I was suffering from a massive head-cold and yet the 1997 and 1991 that John shared with us still sticks in my memory.  Back in the '90s, it wasn't uncommon for us to struggle with ripeness issues with Bordeaux reds, and these wines had none of that.  Massive tannins and great character.  I was blown away.

This is only the XXth vintage of our flagship red wine Cadenza ever made since 1980.
