Geyser Peak Alexander Valley Tectonic Red Blend 2012
External Review:
Tectonic Red is a tribute to the seismic force that created the mountains and valleys where these Sonoma vineyards thrive. A blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (69%) with a dose of Petite Verdot (16%) and a few others filling in, sourced from valley floor to benchland to hillside parcels throughout the Alexander Valley. The wine was aged 20 months in French oak barrels. This ripe red boasts a slew of medals including Golds in both the Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition and the Tasters Guild International Competition. Wine & Spirits scored it 90 points and Wine Enthusiast scored it 91 saying "The blend on this complex red wine is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Petit Verdot and what the winery calls “other reds.” It’s the most interesting of Geyser Peak’s 2011s, showing ripe, forward black cherry and red currant fruit, but also notes of dried herbs, minerals, bacon, black pepper, licorice and espresso. While it’s not an ager, it grows more interesting as it breathes in the glass." On Sale!
