Review date: September 4, 2009

Wine Review: This pitch black colored red wine is mostly made from Alexander Valley Cabernet. It opens with a very attractive boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, nicely balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a savory spicy blueberry with hints of menthol and sage. The finish is rather dry and its noticeable dusty tannins are very persistent and lengthy. This wine would be outstanding with a hearty meal like beef bourguignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: "Supple mouthfeel with notes of graphite and black currant finished with a hint of smoke, toast, and concentrated black cherries." - Graham Weerts, Winemaker

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
