Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

The grapes for this lovely wine from the Hoppe-Kelly vineyard. Luscious rich with blackberry liqueur concentration and depth. Full-bodied and smooth. Yum!

More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The Hoppe-Kelly Vineyard is located in the Northeastern edge of the Russian River Valley, just south of the Dry Creek appellation. The vines are terraced into a very steep hillside, allowing for excellent drainage, and struggle in the very shallow, rocky soils.
