Don Davis decided to bring a previous "Wine of the Year" selection to Scot McLernon's "Down Under" tasting, and damn if it didn't win (it got my vote)! If there was ever a poster child for Carmanere, Casa Lapostolle would have to be it (yes, about 20% of the blend is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but it is overwhelmingly Carmanere). Layers and layers of fruit, amazing oak integration and lively but harmonious acidity -- wow!
