LA FLOR

The kosher version of the wineries acclaimed Cabrida wine can safely take its place among Capcanes’ best. Made from Grenache vines that are between 80-110 years old (see #186) and aged in new and old French oak for 18 months, this wine manages to be full-bodied, elegant and feminine in one fell swoop, remaining rich, deep and concentrated with nice hints of spicy wood. Well integrated, near-sweet and velvety tannins provide a solid backbone for layers of black cherries, raspberries, plums, violets and other flowers, spices and some dark chocolate, with hints of smoky oak and flinty minerals leading into a caressing finish of dark fruit, wood and spices that lingers delightfully. A long finish rounds out this wine that is finally drinking beautifully and should cellar nicely through 2016, potentially longer.(php 220.oo)
