| Tasting Notes
In our pursuit of producing only the best, there are, inevitably, batches of wine and portions of barrels that just don't make it past Gerhard's highly discriminating palate. Our Argentum has become a staple at several high-end restaurants' by-the-glass program, and continues to be enjoyed by consumers looking for a solid wine at an immense value. Perfect for the everyday Delectus indulgence!
2006 Argentum $25
Our customers are quickly figuring out why so many restaurants are jumping to get Argentum: How else can you find a Delectus wine at such a price! Made of bits and pieces of all our front-line wines (yes, there is Sacrashe in it, too!!) and various press wines, it is once again a Cab-driven blend that is accentuated by Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Syrah. The official release date is September 15, and it typically sells out by December. If you are looking for a "guilt-free" wine that does not require guests or a special occasion, this is your wine. Order by the case before it's gone.
Tasting Notes
The wine opens with warm spices, nutmeg and clove, and folds into black cherry with some dustiness and crushed rock elements. The palate is round with nice layers of earthiness, lemon rind and ripe plums. The wine is deeply concentrated, coats the mouth and finishes beautifully.
