Cloud Nine Composition

Cloud Nine Composition contains five varieties: Tempranillo, Syrah, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot. The founders of Cloud 9 sought out vineyard sources throughout California that best captured the old-world flavors of Rioja, Rhone, Piemonte, and Bordeaux. Each varietal component was then blended together in such a way as to not blend out the individual flavors, but rather to intensify and complement one another. By strictly tasting the wine on its own, it is very hard to identify the varietal components due to the blend. However, it does contain a typicity of Composition itself, which is recreated with each vintage.

Plush and nicely focused, with modest tannic grip to ripe plum, cherry, floral and red currant flavors underscored by generous vanilla and coconut notes. I intially tasted and smlled the caberenet but after collecting my thoughts could pick out no particualr varietal.

I bought mine at KLwines in San francisco but it can also be bought online at Bevmo.com
