Macdonald, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero Egly's 2008 Brut Grand Cru

Egly's 2008 Brut Grand Cru Millésime was showing as brilliantly as ever

an amazing terraced amphitheater planted with very old Garnacha vines on chalky soils at higher altitude in Montsant

from very ripe and rot-tinged grapes

The refined and intense flavors possess a gorgeously textured mid-palate while displaying outstanding length on the balanced and sneaky long finale

Macdonald, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero Egly's 2008 Brut Grand CruThe 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from MacDonald is an absolute delight. Aromatic, lifted and finessed, the 2014 is also an unusual vintage for a wine that is often quite inky and deep. On the other hand, this is aromatic, silky and medium in body, almost Burgundian in feel texturally. Although a lighter wine by Napa Valley standards, the 2014 possesses fine depth. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the wines freshness and overall poise. Rose
