| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Alexander Valley n Sonoma County, Ca, does it again. This f ull-bodied dry red wine shows a medum-deep cherry red color. Aromas suggest dark fruits--plums and black currants--while the palate embraces fresh dark fruits and soft tannins. The balance, elegance and integraton of fruit, acid and tannin are just spot on. Alexander Valley shows its stuff here, with superb dark berry fruit. The alcohol is fairly high (14.5%), yet the wne doesn’t “read” hot. Just lovely. Able to be cellared for another decade or so, depending on the condition of the bottle being stored, if kept at cool temperatures. Serve at cellar temperature, about 55-60F/13-15C, in large tulip-shaped glasses.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Coarse-textured terrines, pâté forestière (wth mushrooms) cider-brined pork chop (Pine Street Market, Avondale Estates); grilled duck breast rubbed with nutmet, cinnamon, cardamom, salt and pepper, balsamc glaze; grilled bone-in rib-eye; sautéed portobello mushrooms, grilled lamb steak, mild cheeses, especially creamy blues.
