AVV has been in my wine consiousness for as ,long as I can remember. Located in Alexander Valley, the warmest growing region of Sonoma, it has a lot of exclusive neighbors, most particularly Silver Oak. These wines are consistently good, maybe not headliners but definitely they go the distance.
Sangiovese Rose 2007 a bit of rhubarb, salmon color and nice acidity...will be in the store...adding to the growing range of roses for our store.
Chardonnay 2006 they have backed off the oak a bit...slowed down on the ML..still a little tropical fruit on the palate but mostly just clean chardonnay fruit
Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 lots of cedar on the nose and juicy silky fruit on the finish...
Merlot 2005 90% Merlot silky with a touch of heat from the alcohol. creamy tannins bright berry and mocha flavors on the back
Sin Zin 2006 one of the original fun zinfandels.. this vintage had a perfume that was very enjoyable and juicy without the heavy briar that some tend to have.
Temptation Zin 2005 a new concept for AVV with the briary quality and some jammyness this would be a good beginners Zin.
