winemaker's notes:

Deep, intense red ruby color. Elegant and complex nose, with plenty of red fruit and blackberry flavors mixed with notes of toasty oak and spices. The Cuvée Alexandre Merlot shows an incredible quality of smooth, round and well integrated tannins, that makes it very approachable right now. However, this attractive wine will gain in complexity and harmony if cellared for a few years.

A Customer - california
This is a great wine. Filled with dark berries and what I would decribe as a brightness. My husband and I love this wine, it's definitely one of our favorites.
A Customer - California
this wine is complex and tasty. it's a fine complement to red or white meat; a must have in your cellar.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
