title: Geyser Peak 2004 Reserve Alexandre Meritage Red (Alexander Valley)
description: Reserve Alexandre is always a really nice, interesting wine, but with recent price increases, consumers should be wary. The '04 shows classic Alexander Valley softness and herbs, along with cherries, blackberries and oak, and it's an elegantly balanced wine. But it doesn't seem to be an ager, as it's a little thin on the finish, so drink now.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Reserve Alexandre Meritage
