The 2009 Ovide is another smash hit by Charles Smith! This massive wine brings tons of black fruit reduction, sweet currant, green olive, mocha and wild herbs. Full-bodied covering every inch of our palate with dense complex layers and round polished tannins that make your mouth water. This picks some dark chocolate notes that linger on the long delicious finish. This remarkable wine is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Syrah from the En Cerise vineyard; freewater cobbley loam over gravel sand, an ancient dried riverbed located on the floor of the Walla Walla Valley, biodynamically farmed. Planted in 1997. (Drink 2013-2025) - December, 2011 (JD)
