Alder Springs Vineyard Syrah 2021
Tasting Notes
Aromas of cherry bark, boysenberry, red currant, and black raspberries harmonize with intriguing hints of tamari soy sauce, bergamot, and black tea. Earthy elements of cedar, porcini mushrooms, and pine resin add depth, while a touch of wild lingonberry rounds out the bouquet. The palate impresses with chewy tannins and a waxy, mouth-coating texture. Cocoa nib, dried goji berries, and wild blueberries mingle with fresh thyme and alpine strawberries, creating a dynamic flavor profile. Tangerine peel and pink peppercorn provide brightness and complexity, all heightened by an insanely mouthwatering acidity.

Metal Bender Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Metal Bender Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon expresses warm vintage Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics. It pours a deep purple with an expressive nose of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry. The full-bodied palate is rich and velvety, with structured yet polished tannins supporting flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and graphite. Well-integrated oak adds hints of vanilla and tobacco, leading to a long, lingering finish with echoes of dark chocolate and plum.
