I was given the responsibility of opening and serving this bottle to the guests of a 40th birthday celebration. From double-magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2005 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous, with notes of ripe and slightly desiccated fruit: cassis, blackberry, black plum, tobacco, leather, Pablano pepper, vanilla, earth, and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (that is mostly integrated) and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This wine, from this format is in a really lovely spot. Drink now through 2035. — 21 days ago

Wine club release from York Creek. Less brawny than Barnett’s main releases (Cyrus Ryan and Rattlesnake). Mountain fruit (albeit a little less fruit forward) with some nice spice notes and good structure — 4 years ago

Выпито 19.10.24 в замечательном мясном ресторане Spit jack с Саввасом и Джозефом. Очень неплохой бленд Мерло, Каберне фран и местного греческого винограда агиоргитико 2021 года. — 8 months ago

Absolutely delicious nose,
Ripe yet unsweet blackberry and Eucalyptus -

This carries on through the big bodied wine, focused laser like beginning to end red cab fruits, that mint wood finish and long lingering acidity.
I haven’t had this since I was at the winery in 2015. So good! — 3 years ago

In the old Cyrus space in Healdsburg. A fine if simple Fixin that gained strength after twenty mins. — 2 years ago

Dark purple color. Nose is not as perfumed as the Cyrus Ryan or Rattlesnake but nicely fragrant with notes of currants and menthol. While 12 years on, it is quite balanced for a Spring Mountain wine. — 3 years ago

Alexander Valley Vineyards is owned and operated by the Harry Wetzel family. Founded in 1975, it is located on Cyrus Alexander's old homestead. Deep Ruby, 13% Merlot added for body, aromas of dark berry fruits with sweet baking spice. On the palate black cherry and ripe blackberry flavors with cacao, oak and pepper spice. Fine chewy tannins good drinking now, medium+ finish, ok balance with soft . Tasting Sample. Nice value! — 4 years ago
