The thing I have said about this winery over the years.. consistently good wines, if not great. Nothing overly exciting but no dogs in the bunch.2008 New Gewurztraminer light on the palate...not the over the top floral bomb of some brands
2008 Estate Chardonnay.. 70% stainless steel, light oak when used.. a little tropical fruit, banana on the finish... but pretty clean overall
2007 Sin Zin. alexander valley, surprisingly soft for such a strong zin vintage.. more feminine style..
2006 Estate Merlot... rich texture... good fruit, maybe the best of the bunch
07 Estate Cabernet cinnamon nose, light texture, i was expecting a little more body I think
2005 Cyryus,named for the founder of Alexander Valley, Cyrus Alexander. juicy and nice on the palate... thinking it was going to have more umphhh to it though... to be fair nothing tasted exciting all day.
