The 2012 Heart of the Vineyard Red Wine (Bordeaux blend) is part of Sullivan's Artist Series wines and is available for $100/bottle on their website. Dark cherry and chocolate, great acidity and tannins. Should age very well.

Solid Napa Bordeaux blend. Fairly dark black fruit flavor with griping tannins and a lot of structure. Probably can use some cellar aging to soften up a bit. Worth the $30 I paid but probably not the wineries retail price.

Advertised as $100 (and confirmed as such on the Sullivan Vineyards website) for $30. A two hour decant along with a melange of olives. Good. Not great. Maybe some cellar time will improve? Good thing T made a killer French onion soup for dinner!

Wonderful Bordeaux style red blend from Sullivan. Really quite balanced at this point - tannins have receded, acid slightly there, very good fruit.

Really very nice. One of my last bottles from the couple cases I got for working there in the summer of 2011. Really nice red fruit, hint of black pepper, quite balanced and seamless. With some steaks on the grill quite delicious.

Decanted for an hour. Nice balanced blend, rabbis strong but softened edges. Not too subtle yet, but not overbearing fruit either.

Dark, juicy red fruits, lightly tannic, toasty vanilla notes- simply delicious
