Enzo Bianchi “Highlights”
2009 92 “Editors Choice” Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 2013 This inky San Rafael red features power, heat, blackberry and cassis on the nose. In the mouth, it’s full and balanced in feel, with black fruit, baked plum and toast flavors. A clean, almost stony feeling finish suggests minerality.” 2007 91 Pts Wine Advocate, #192, Dec. 2010 “The 2007 Enzo Bianchi is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and 7% Malbec aged for 12 months in new French oak. Opaque purple in color, it offers up an expressive nose of cigar box, Asian spices, violets, underbrush, black currant, and blackberry. Medium- to full-bodied with a round plush texture, it reveals intense flavors, incipient complexity, and precision balance…” 2005 90 Pts Wine Advocate, Dec 2008 “…Saturated purple in color, it presents aromas of wood smoke, clove, espresso, black currant, and blackberry. Full-bodied and dense, the wine has outstanding depth and concentration, plenty of intense, ripe fruit, and a lengthy finish…” 2002 95 Pts Wine News, March 2007 “Dense purple hue. Jammy menthol aromas with hints of mint, graphite and cured meat. Upfront flavors of blueberry, plum, oak and chalk. The tannins are sculpted and well integrated with a lingering mintiness. This is a stunning, memorable cabernet blend (86%) with a pinches of malbec (10%) and merlot (4%).” 2002 4 Stars “Highly Recommended” Decanter Magazine, Nov 2006 "This fine Cabernet shows youthful blackcurrant fruit, fresh acidity, supple-textured tannins -- and a firm backbone for aging.” 2001 89 Pts Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2004 “This top-of-the-line Cabernet (there’s also 16% Merlot) boasts an impressive texture that’s remarkably smooth and supple. Aromas are complex, combining cinnamon and brown sugar with ripe blackberries and cassis.”
