Yates Family Vineyard 2009 Alden Perry Reserve Red (Mount Veeder)

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

Easy to like for its incredibly rich flavors of blackberry jam and cola. The tannins are front and center, yet they’re ripe and soft. Meanwhile, oak barrel aging brings a succulent jacket of toast. Doesn’t taste like your typically ageable Mount Veeder wine, but it sure is delicious now.
