description: Over the years my scores for Alluvium have been all over the board. This wine, a Bordeaux blend based on Merlot but with all five classic varieties, is a bit edgy in tannic structure, with a rustic bite. But it's ripe in blackberry, cherry, coffee and rum flavors, and could easily soften by 2010.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Alluvium Red Table Wine
