Rivers-Marie - Lore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 (1.5L) Cité de Carcassonne Laroque is very clearly oneDeep garnet purple colored, it needs a fair bit of swirling to reveal tantalizing scents of boysenberries, chocolate covered cherries and crushed black and red currants with hints of menthol, tobacco leaf, violets, cinnamon stick and cedar chest. Medium to full bodied, the palate bursts with perfumed black fruits, backed up by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced. Just stunning.
