Magdalena Vineyard Riesling 2014

More lush than expected. Honey, slate and lemon rounded on the palate (in that order). Medium plus acidity. This single vineyard vintage really is exemplary. 12.5% ABV. Paired with curried coconut shrimp and collard greens. — 7 years ago

Estate Bottled Niagara-on-the-Lake VQA Cabernet Franc 2012

A little green but still some nice fruit and a decent body. Canadian red always has that underripe component but it works here. Chewy tannins are gonna go great with a steak. — 8 years ago

Niagara-on-the-Lake Riesling 2011

This Riesling is a steal for the quality less then 15 bucks. Excellent now! Well how does it taste? This wine is from Canada of all places? Petrol notes. Bitter in the back of the mouth. Lemon zest. This could easily be a wine from Germany dry! For an everyday Riesling hart to beat. My wife thinks Vanilla on the nose. I am giving this a high rating for the quality at this price point a wine geek wine. — 9 years ago

Lake County Red Blend 2012

Goes down smooths, clean flavor but a tad too light. Wish it had a little extra kick to it and more essence. Other than that, great value and easy on the pallet. — 9 years ago

On the nose, red perfumed florals, dark cherries, cherries, strawberry preserves, cherries and pomegranate. On the palate, cherries, dark cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, fragrant florals for days, nice soft spices, cinnamon, vanilla, powdery tannins & minerality. The fruits brighten and the spices grow on the long polished rounded acid finish. Photos one shows their low yields and photo two shows the staff enjoying second breakfast. — 7 years ago

Lake Sonoma Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Oh, yeah. My Friday's Cabernet fix.
Inky in color with a dark purple rim.

Sweet nose of blueberries, blackberries, sweet cherries, strawberries pie, vanilla, oak, blackberries, ripe plums, licorice, acetone, light cloves and peppercorn.

Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

Extremely fruity and Dry on the palate, with dried figs, blackberries, sweet plums, earth, leather, cherries, oak, vanilla, cola, licorice, cedar and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm tannins, spices and black pepper.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County is really enjoyable by itself to sip on. Complex and well balanced.

A Great wine to pair with a nice piece of filet mignon, which is exactly what I did.

It still needs a few years to chill in the bottle, but I loved it as it is.

14.3% alcohol by volume.
