Napa Valley.

GREENOCK CREEK VINEYARD & CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON ROENNFELDT ROAD 2002 (1, OC)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.

The two Roennfeldt Road cuvees, from one of Barossa’s most esteemed addresses, appear to be the finest since the legendary 1998s. The purple-colored 2002 Roennfeldt Road Cabernet Sauvignon offers up a soaring, already complex perfume of wood smoke, spice box, scorched earth, licorice, blackberry, and black currant. This is followed by a full-bodied, opulent, seamless Cabernet with gobs of spicy black fruits, an extra dimension that only old vines can provide, and a nearly endless finish. It would be fascinating to place it in a blind tasting with the 2002 vintages of Harlan, Colgin, Bryant, and Screaming Eagle. February 2009 WA 100

GREENOCK CREEK VINEYARD & CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON ROENNFELDT ROAD 2003 (1, OC)

Barossa Valley, South Australia.

The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Roennfeldt Road is a saturated purple color. Exceptionally fragrant, it reveals an aromatic array of smoke, Asian spices, violets, and assorted black fruits. Sweet, concentrated, long, and tightly wound, it will require 6-8 years of additional cellaring. December 2009 WA 95
