2007 Falling Rain Cellars Mischief

Rating: 92+

Drink: 2014-2027

Falling Rain Cellars' inky purple 2007 Mischief is a
multi-regional blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon,
25% Cabernet Franc, with the balance Merlot,
Malbec, and Petit Verdot aged for 20 months in
French and American oak. It exhibits a splendid
bouquet of sandalwood, incense, herbs, lavender,
cassis, and blackberry. Already complex on the
palate, this is a mouth-coating, layered, spicy, and
impeccably balanced blend that will reward 4-5
years of cellaring and which will effortlessly see its
20th birthday. Hopefully Falling Rain is not a one-hit
wonder and there will be a few more overachievers
like this sensational value.
