The 2012 Heart of the Vineyard Red Wine (Bordeaux blend) is part of Sullivan's Artist Series wines and is available for $100/bottle on their website. Dark cherry and chocolate, great acidity and tannins. Should age very well.

Advertised as $100 (and confirmed as such on the Sullivan Vineyards website) for $30. A two hour decant along with a melange of olives. Good. Not great. Maybe some cellar time will improve? Good thing T made a killer French onion soup for dinner!

Really a lovely Bordeaux style blend from Sullivan in Napa. I am biased as I spent a summer working there. Quite seamless, some nice cassis, has really come into balance. Bit of that very nice menthol laced acid refreshing note on the finish. Delicious and wonderful pairing with steaks on the grill.

May 4th, 2024Wonderful Bordeaux style red blend from Sullivan. Really quite balanced at this point - tannins have receded, acid slightly there, very good fruit.

Oct 22nd, 2023Really very nice. One of my last bottles from the couple cases I got for working there in the summer of 2011. Really nice red fruit, hint of black pepper, quite balanced and seamless. With some steaks on the grill quite delicious.

Jul 2nd, 2023Very nice smooth blend. Let sit for 15mins and drinks better. Overall like a lot of 2012's drinks nice now or lay it down for several years and I'm sure will be even better.

Great first taste but lacks depth of flavor. May need more time.

It's a nice wine but not the complex flavors that I expected. I enjoyed it. To me, it is a nice choice if you can find it for about $15 per bottle.
