A wonderful success of the vintage, the 2008 d'Issan exhibits a dark plum/garnet/purple color as well as abundant aromas of flowers, Asian spices, jammy plums and black currants. Broad, savory and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin and an evolved, already delicious, complex style, this cuvee will age nicely for 10-15 years.
This pushes herb and chalk notes up front, backed by black cherry and damson plum fruit. The silky, perfumy finish holds together nicely. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2014. 7,583 cases made.
