Blueberries, cherries, and vanilla waft up from the glass. Tart cherries and sweet blueberries, with blackberry and oak in the background, make up the palate. A touch of raspberry adds a little zing to the finish. Muscular tannins and a meaty body make a vigorous mouthful, that would pair well with lamb chops. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH
Raspberry and pomegranate lead up front, and cranberry joins on the mid-palate. Tannins are soft, acids bright, offering a wide array of food pairings. Drink with duck and pork terrine. Recommended. 89 points.
Blackberries lead on the palate, followed by chocolate and espresso. This will need a well-marbled New York Strip to allow all the fruit to come through. Recommended. 89 points.
This is rich and complex, while keeping Alexander Valley red fruit high notes that distinguish its wines from the neighboring Napa Valley. Drink with a T-bone. Highly Recommended. 90 points.
