Mark Ryan Lonely Heart Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain 2011

Rating: **** 1/2

Price: $85

A brooding wine that's locked up tightly at present with freshly tilled soil, mineral notes, vanilla, licorice, dark fruit and chocolate. The palate is rich and concentrated with abundant dark fruit and chocolate flavors with an extended finish. There's a lot of wood on this bad boy but a lot of fruit to go with it. Give a long rest in the cellar for them both to fully marry. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Ciel du Cheval, Obelisco, Force Majeure, and Klipsun vineyards. Aged 21 months in French oak (74% new). 15.1% alcohol. 225 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
