Blue Rock Baby Blue Red
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
A very pretty color of dark ruby, with a wide reddish rim.
Very aromatic nose with blue and black fruits, tobacco, light oak, and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with currants, plums, cooked cherries, Indian spices, oak, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, light earth, black tea and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Bordeaux blend from Sonoma County is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and spicy.
Feels like a Californian Merlot. Showing a nice mouthfeel with good structure. A very nice surprise.
I had the 2016 vintage 6 years ago, and this time it is drinking much better.
Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next year or two. I held it back for 5 years, and I'm glad I opened it now.
A great sipping wine. Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 11% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$30 (current vintage).

A nice blend made for early drinking, has all 5 bdx varieties in the blend and also has some syrah, but that didnt really show. This is their entry level wine so I would be interested to try the rest of the lineup.

From Bandanna’s to go. Big bouquet of plums and tobacco? Smooth plums and a hint of raspberries? Smooth finish with few tannins

Dec 5th, 2020On the sweeter side but enough tannins to be enjoyable. Light with lots of cherry and raspberry. Vanilla on the nose. Interesting wine.
