Alexander Valley Vineyards reaches west across Highway 101 for the fruit for this Platinum Award Winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition. It’s full-throttle Dry Creek, with a firm grip carrying deep black fruit and spice through a blossoming finish. Go for bold cheeses or grilled red meats with this one, and you will indeed feel redeemed.
