PREVAIL (West Face) Cabernet Sauvignon 2003  
designation: West Face
vineyard: LookOut Mountain
region: California - Sonoma
review date: 2007-03-02

The PreVail Mountain Estate Winery, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) "West Face" 2003 is a wine that flows effortlessly through all sensory aspects. It has a wonderful deep garnet color with a complex ripe black currant, blackberry and raspberry bouquet that impersonates the scent of the sweetest ripe fruit found at any berry patch field during strong windy gusts on a late summer day. Beautifully constructed, this wine displays intense blackberry, dried cherry and licorice flavors that harmonize with earthy flavors of clove, cedar, black pepper and spice; a full-bodied wine with great balance and a superb, intoxicating midpalate. The tantalizing spicy and robust finish complemented with dusty tannins will have you screaming for more.
