90 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "Medium-dark to dark purplish ruby; forward, deep, intense, cedary, black cherry and blackberry fruit aroma with oaky overtones; full body; big, deep, extracted, well-oaked, dark fruit flavors with a rich, though somewhat rough mouthfeel; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. 15.5% alcohol; 1,000 cases; blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon; released Fall 2017. (Feb 2018)"
Producer notes: "Our 2015 Alec's Blend is a lot like the Honda XR500 that Alec takes to the trails of Lefthand Canyon in Boulder, CO -- big, powerful, and lots of fun. Bursting with sappy black cherry, chocolaty oak spice and Madagascar vanilla, it's a dense and delicious blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit-driven and plush but framed in fine, polished tannins, this ride will make you smile. 1,000 cases produced."
