What does come through is green peppers on the nose and boysenberry and an earthy pepper pepper finish. This wine has quite a lengthy finish but still the heat lingers. |

2/1/2011 - MindMuse wrote: 84 pointsBright red. Lots of cardamom and spice on the nose, with cranberry and AquaNet. Medium body. Mixed red berries on the under ripe side, fine acidity and steamy tannin finish. Good, almost very good, which it may well be in a year. |

2006 Alere Vineyards MourvèdreSta. Rita Hills more |
9/25/2010 - Cabfrancophile wrote: 82 pointsPretty much middle of the road. Medium body, med/high acid, and a bit light on flavor. A solid table wine. Some Mourvedre funk on the nose, but otherwise not much. A bit medicinal and vanilla on the finish. Not much style or varietal character, though it's perfectly acceptable as a table wine. |
