Yates Family Vineyard 2008 Alden Perry Reserve Red (Mount Veeder)

Country: US / Alden Perry Reserve
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Yates Family Vineyard / Mount Veeder

A distinguished Bordeaux blend from a winery that flies a bit under the radar. It’s rich and dramatic in intensely concentrated mountain fruit, brimming with blackberry and black currant flavors, liberally oaked and framed in thick, refined tannins. Possesses real elegance and dynamism, but it needs bottle age. Hold until 2014.
