Alexander Valley

Ripe, juicy fruit flavors bathe the palate, while notes of sweet oak take over on the finish. The bouquet has appealing aromas of dark ripe plums and cassis, all encased in scents of smoky oak. Its medium body shows well resolved tannins, showing that this wine is worth whats on its price tag.     About $22.     09/20/01

Attractive bouquet of ripe black cherries with notes of bakers chocolate, brown sugar and sweet oak. Things echo nicely on the palate, carried in a medium body with plenty of length. Ripe tannins and expressive sweet oak hang on, revealing some additional nuances of cola and coffee. Delightful complexity in this delicious rendition of California Syrah. 
About $7.99/375ml.

An immensely impressive bouquet features ripe dark berry aromas rife with sweet floral oak tones.  All this is replicated on the palateripe delicious fruit with spicy oak, highly extracted in a full body.  Sensational and delicious but in a price category for high rollers only.  
About $44.
