Petra Quercegobbe 2007
92 Points Robert Parker-Wine Advocate (2006 94 Points WA)
The Quercegobbe vineyard is a small strip intermixed next to some Cabernet Sauvignon and backing right up to the woodlands on the property. It is a very special vineyard which makes a very special wine. Highly rated in 2006, and living up to its acclaim with the 2007 vintage as well. It is my belief that the 2007 is on the same path and will develop beautifully for many years to come. A dark ruby-heavy garnet color with a firm but clear concentration. The wine is intense on the nose, plump ripe plums and dark cherries bursting in the glass all set against a red flower and warm dark rocky earth component. The palate is long and strong, silky tannins caress the dry finish. There are notes of coffee and subtle peppercorn spices with notes of balsamic vinegar on the back. The wine is aged in 600 L French barrique for about 15 months, 50% new and 50% seasoned, followed by 10 months in the bottle before release.
