Lock Vineyard Improv Red Blend

A wonderful blend. Big flavors.

Big fruit. Raisin finish. Light tannins.

Too much alcohol took away from the dense fruit.

Have not had a bottle from the winery for a long time. I believe this used to have the single “Lock Vineyard” designation. Not sure why it was removed as the fruits are still 100% from the vineyard.

Quite different than the ‘16 Retro Syrah, this is powerful with dark chocolate and licorice underpinning the ripe dark fruits such a plum and black currant. Rich and dense on the palate with long candied finish. Equally delicious.

Big, bold dark fruit. Vanilla, herbs, and spice. Smooth finish.

Nose isn't overly fragrant. Dry leaves. Flavor packs a punch. Dark, herbal, a little spicy. Nice wine.

Wow. Very nice Zin/Syrah combo. 15 years and still going strong- integration still there. Completely fills the mouth with flavor.

The 2015 Improv is a rich and brooding wine compared to the 2014 vintage that I can remember. Blackberry jam, stewed plum, burnt brown sugar, cedar, vanilla, and light herbs. Big body and dense texture. Wish for a brighter acidity, but the depth of flavor and lingering long finish more are more than made up for it.
47% Merlot, 29% Petite Sirah, and 24% Petit Verdot.

Full-bodies, fruity, delicious

From the first moment, you'll know you've found something very special. And simply spectacular!
