Beautifully scented tea leaf
it should be served cool and uncorked on any and all occasions
interspersed by notes of Mediterranean scrub and delicate spices
while matching them pace for pace with concentrated fruit
yet with a supporting structure and fine equilibrium
2020 | Mark Ryan Dead Horse Cabernet Sauvignon | Red Mountain Michele Satta Beautifully scented tea leafLeading off the flagship releases from this terrific estate, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Dead Horse is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It's closed aromatically yet has attractive red and black fruits, some spicy, mineral notes, medium to full body, and ripe, supple tannins. I like its balance, and I suspect it will benefit from 2 4 years of bottle age. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
