I sstill have doubts about whether this wine comes from grapes grown in the Anderson Valley of Mendocino County or the Alexander Valley of Sonoma. Chronicle winery is located in the Anderson Valley and frequently uses grapes from Mendocino's well respected Savoy Vineyard. Yet the label, which I believe to be mistaken,clearly says Alexander Valley, which, as far as I know, has no Savoy Vineyard. The quality, flavor profile and strength at age 16, tells me the fruit is Anderson Valley.
Bright ruby with significant amber tones. Red cherries, cranberries but also some darker fruit. Blood orange zest and spice. Acidity keeps it fresh and lively. Drinking beautifully right now.
