Fleshy and ripe on the palate with developed flavors (it is a 2005) of raspberry and smoky oak this wine is a joy to drink. It's classically styled and super-smooth with exceptional balance showcasing chocolate, cassis and light tobacco notes through the finish.<br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><b aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Cameron Confidential</b>:&nbsp; Last summer we were invited to visit one of the facilities in a recently formed marketing group for several wineries in the Napa/Sonoma area. There we were shown about 10 wines and suffice it to say we bought everything they put in front of us, ranging from Carneros Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Atlas Peak Cabernet to Alexander Valley Meritage. EVERYTHING we bought were finished bottling blend, simply excess wines above and beyond where they saw their sales projections and all ready to go right into the bottle. Go into the bottle they did this Fall.<br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /></p> <p> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> <li>SKU:
