TASTING NOTE: This is a stunning vintage for one of Alexander Valley's prestigious labels, with exotic jasmine and sweet black raspberry aromas. Boysenberry and mulberry jam and toast drape the mouth and the continuing parade of expressive fruit become[s] more dramatic and voluptuous. Tannins are round and the texture is plush. Score - 93 (Meridith May, The Tasting Panel, April 2017) |
