Alder Springs 2012 Row Five Red Cuvée Red (Mendocino)

Country: US / Row Five Red Cuvée
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Alder Springs / Mendocino

Potent and intense, this has a dark red color that goes to the rim and exotic huckleberry and dark cherry aromas. Thick layers of fruit, dark chocolate and spice on the palate combine with firm, framing tannins and acidity for a lip-smacking finish. It will get better with age through at least 2018.
