Relic Wines Aromas of cassis, Asian spice, vanilla and toasty oak introduce an extremely supple and lithe palate, with focused, concentrated flavors of plum, cherry and chocolate. The finish is long and elegant. To give this wine an added element of complexity and elegance, we aged it in 100% new French oak for 22 months. Wine Advocate Relic fashions some intriguing blends, the finest of which is their superb 2007 Artefact, a combination of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Petit Verdot and Syrah. An inky/purple color gives up scents of melted licorice, white chocolate, blackberries, and charcoal. Full-bodied with sweet tannins, a lush, heady mouth-feel, and a long, layered finish, this hedonistic, lavishly rich red can be drunk over the next decade. Score: 92 - Robert Parker, December 2008. Wine Spectator Minty herb, sage and dried berry flavors are elegant and supple, full-bodied and smooth-textured, offering hints of pepper, sage and dusty berry. Ends with a long, full finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Best from 2010 through 2016. 180 cases made. Score: 91 - James Laube, 2009.
