Audelssa Estate, Sonoma Valley (Sonoma County, California) 2008

 A supple but well-structured Bordeaux blend, dominated by ripe (and sweet) red and black fruit flavors, with an overlay of vanilla-scented oak, this youthful wine may seem somewhat simple when you first taste it.  Exposure to air, however, allows it to become significantly more expressive.  That development, coupled with its well-defined tannic structure, suggests that it is a good candidate for cellaring.  In a few years, 90 points may well seem too conservative.
