Sullivan 2015 Coeur de Vigne

This Bordeaux blend highlights the finest lots from the Rutherford Sullivan Estate in 2015. The name “Coeur de Vigne” translates as “Heart of the Vine” to express their dedication to farming and the Estate’s situation in the historic center - the heart - of Napa Valley.

Alcohol: 14.8%

95 POINTS - "An extremely beautiful and intense 2015 with blackberry, blueberry and mineral undertones. Full body, layered. Polished tannins. Excellent texture." - James Suckling

While intense in its structure and concentration, this full bodied wine deftly avoids any sense of heaviness. It’s aromas leap from the glass with dark notes of blackberry cordial laced with swiss chocolate and vanilla. The rich, savory palate offers dusty blue fruit flavors with a touch bittersweet cocoa powder that lingers on sweet fine tannins throughout the clean finish. Crafted to be approachable upon release yet age-worthy in your cellar, this wine is best enjoyed now with light decanting until 2028.
