User Reviews for Alexander Valley Vineyards
Add your reviewLots of tannins for a merlot - I really thought it was a cab based blend, however, learned that it was 100% merlot. After the shock of the tannins I could taste a lot of spice, blueberries and plums - typical merlot fare. But then the finish threw me again, in that it was meaty, and had so much structure. A merlot for cab lovers.
With dark berry and smokey toasted oak, cocoa and a hint vanilla the 2006 Trentadue Alexander Valley Merlot has all the essential elements of a fine wine (compare to the more expensive Bell Merlot) at bargain (< $20) price. This is a terrific value for a wine with this level of balance and complexity.

Winemaker's Notes:
Wine Tasting Notes The wine's characteristics are typical to our estate fruit with aromas of dark cherries, plums, licorice and earth. With further aeration the wine reveals complex sweet; layers of blackberry, herbs, cedar and tobacco. In the mouth, the wine is complex, full-bodied and finishes with long, ripe but firm tannins destined to support successful aging for 4-6 years.
