Wine Specs
Old World Influence With California Soul
With a nod to their Old World roots, our Alazar wines have come to represent the incredible quality that can be derived from California’s array of microclimates. Wet and cool in the north. Dryer and warmer to the south. California has “the goods” when it comes to climate and soil. Here, these European varietals take on personalities never thought possible in their native lands, pushing the envelope of what is achievable with outstanding grapes.
Clearly California in style with their juicy, ripe, exotic fruit flavors, there is a definite Old World charm, however, in the balance, grace and clarity of fruit. For Old World influence with California soul, choose Alazar.
This wine achieves bold plum and berry aromas and flavors that produce a long finish with just the right amount of soft tannins to enhance the structure of the wine. French oak adds toasty complexity.
Bronze, 2010 World Wine Championships:
"Deep ruby color. Aromas of marinated sour cherries and roasted peppers and salt water taffy are different and follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dryish medium body with honeyed tomato and delicate spice notes. Finishes with a soft, powdery tannin fade." (2/3/2010)
