S.L.V. Estate Grown Red Blend

Smooth, comfortable, opulent, luscious-----words don't do it justice.

Evolving nicely into secondary aromas with earthy, baked fruit, cocoa, old leather. Had a slight balsamic whiff at first but was smooth and flavorful on the palate. VA disappeared after some air time. Still, I think it's time to finish off what's left of the case.

Well made but personally I find its lofty oak treatment pushy. Hey guys; there's a new era - have you noticed? This Napa style is something of the past IMOO. Tasting fine, but drinking heavily.

Barely edged out the FAY with a slightly longer finish. Incredible wine in it's price range and while not cheap, holds its own against some costing twice as much.

WTF, where’s the fruit, acid and finish. Dollar for dollar, my worst wine purchase ever (at the winery years ago no less).

Delicious rich color and smooth taste

Smooth operator, en magnum

Smooth and nice texture

Another great year for the legendary SLV line.

Nose is fantastic: Rose, lavender, bramble, sweet blackberry, black raspberry, jammy in a good way. Pallet is not too far off the nose. So well integrated, with some cacao. Lush tannins, but still there with solid acidity on the back of the tongue. This is some solid wine. Wish I had more.
