2009 Geyser Peak Reserve Alexandre Meritage Alexander Valley

(94 points) "A great wine for drinking now, this is just beginning to show the evolution of its primary blackberry, blueberry and currant fruits. Hints of anise, dark chocolate, dried herb, spices and cedar add interest. This is a blend of the classic Bordeaux varieties, but the Cabernet Sauvignon component stands front and center with its firm tannins, depth and concentration. (Wine Enthusiast)." (4/2013)
