2012 Pulido-Walker "Melanson Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon This is a fabulous showingThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard is laced with bright red stone fruits, rose petal and spice notes, with silky tannins that add finesse to the wine's supple, inviting personality. This sweet, nicely layered Cabernet Sauvignon will drink well for the next 10 15 years. The addition of clone 337 Cabernet appears to have given the wine a bit more lift and brightness than in the past. (AG)
