1997 Beringer Alluvium

[winoweenie]

One of the best of the Meritage blends every vintage.Clear ruby with a subtle nose of cassis, spices, vanilla and roses. The same comes across on the tongue with a very strong center and a 4-1/2 lapper finish. Soft, silky, subtle tannins still cloak the wine assuring it still has another 3-5 years of maturity. A whale of a lot of stuffing . 90/93. 26 by the box. Mmmmmm-Mmmmm good! WW
