Behold…. The Oracle. This legendary label brand from Miner has always had a solid reputation for some fantastic Bordeaux style blends. The 2015 vintage is their 20th anniversary release. Marking this special occasion is an elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 26%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Malbec 3%, and Petit Verdot 3%. Sourced from Stagecoach Vineyard, this Napa Valley AVA fruit pours with a dark garnet color and fills the air with a lovely bouquet of dark cherries. Add raspberries to your note list along with some leather and tobacco. Hanging in there at 14.6% abv, the high alcohol content blends in quite nicely with those flavors of blackberries and plums, too. You will be pleased with the silkiness and the underlying earthiness of this medium bodied red wine. The tannins will firmly envelop your palate as you note that light peppery finish. This red blend jewel certainly has great structure and is very well balanced. This lovely wine is worthy of hanging out a bit longer in the cellar. Let’s see how it drinks in the coming years. Cheers!
