Blue Rock
Blue Rock Baby Blue Red
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Showing a gorgeous nose, once it opens up.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and nicely balanced.
Showing blackberries, black currants, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10-year-old is drinking very nicely now, and probably drinking at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next couple of years.
Showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity. This 2015 is showing a lot of sediments. Easy drinking, soft and smooth with good structure.
Fruit forward, elegant and spicy. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.
A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 11% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$30 (current vintage).

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with currants, plums, cooked cherries, Indian spices, oak, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, light earth, black tea and herbs.

This Bordeaux blend from Sonoma County is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and spicy.
Feels like a Californian Merlot. Showing a nice mouthfeel with good structure. A very nice surprise.
I had the 2016 vintage 6 years ago, and this time it is drinking much better.
Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next year or two. I held it back for 5 years, and I'm glad I opened it now.
A great sipping wine. Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
