2009 Den Hoed Marie's View, Horse Heaven Hills RP--94

Robert Parker: 94 Points
Wine Advocate #207 Jun 2013 Jeb Dunnuck 94 Drink: 2013 - 2019 $80 (80) Along the same lines, the 2009 Marie’s View is a tweaked blend of 25% each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot, with the balance Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese aged for 24 months in half new French oak. Perfumed and complex, with notions of liquid violets, sappy herbs, red and black fruits and exotic spices, this beauty hits the palate with a full-bodied, sweetly fruited, yet elegant profile that stays light and weightless. A thrilling, hedonistic drink, it will continue to deliver the goods through 2019. Drink now-2019.
