BEnnett Lane Maximus 2004 Made with 100% Napa Valley fruit, there isn't a better deal in the valley. Intense aromas of ripe black raspberry and strawberry jam are showcased with a background of anise, oak and cedar. On the palate, flavors of dark cherry, mocha and toffee lead to soft, velvety tannins , and a long, lingering finish which makes the 2003 Maximus an elegant feasting wine. ''Impressive for its concentration, depth & complexity, with tiers of currant, wild berry, mocha, fresh earth, & cedar notes. Well focused, it gains depth & length on the finish. Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2010'' James Laube, WineSpectator |
