Well. It's March. Spring is encroaching (perhaps a more optimistic person would say "approaching"). On the one hand, it brings revival and new life. On the other hand, allergies. Anyway, enjoy our offerings here.
2008 Kiss Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley 750ml 3-Pack
This wine is like a freight train delivering huge fruit, big tannin and smoky oak. It features a great acid balance that will make this wine age - and improve - for years. On this wine train, the fruit is the locomotive, the tannin is the freight cars and the oak is the caboose making the whole package work together.
On the nose, you'll get smokiness and a promise of a big, chewy mouthful of full-bodied Cab. As the flavors hit you, blackberry, plum and butter will race for your attention while the conductor brings this wine into the station. Like an old-fashioned steam locomotive, this wine gets better with age. Serve it with a meal that features many flavors - to help bring out everything this wine has to offer.
Charles and Molly Meeker bought their first vineyard in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley in 1977, and thereafter, in 1984, established their winery -- The Meeker Vineyard -- with Charlie as the winemaker. In its early years, the winery specialized in Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.
The Meeker Vineyard tasting room is currently located in the 105-year-old Geyserville Bank building in the farm town of Geyserville, about six miles north of Healdsburg between Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. In 2001, the Meeker tasting room was cited by The Wall Street Journal as one of the most enjoyable wine tasting experiences in all of Napa and Sonoma Counties.
