Mischa Estate Cerno 2007
Winemaker's comments
Cerno - The Pinnacle of Our Terroir Expression
Our exclusive Cerno is a terroir based blend of noble varieties that best epitomizes the virtues of our complex and timeworn soils.
This intriguing blend offers rich opulent fruit on the nose, hedonistic black currant is mixed with cedar and truffle and further enhanced by secondary notes of all spice and cinnamon which continually evolve.
The palate delivers what the nose promised with lovely depth and balance. The acidity is crisp and fresh the tannins are tight as can be expected of a young wine, but promise to mature beautifully. The blend has a long lingering finish that speaks of what is to come.
This wine is clearly from the Mischa stable with rich structured tannins and crisp acidity, but is a clear and exciting expression of the estates unique terroir.
