The best part about Alexander Valley is how it reaches around and holds you lovingly and sticks a tongue in your ear while raping you senseless. And this wine perfects that dilemma in unspeakable ways and WHY I bought two cases on release. Kara Teel said–at an Ember dinner she paid for thank you very much–“I love everything except the blue capsule” which troubles me to this day, as I find it gorgeous. Absolutely brilliant pithy disgustingly fruity concentrated elixir and you might find some if you pay your dues. How many more of these are in the cellar??!?⁸
