Well DANG! This week’s show has been pre-empted for Shocker Basketball.
Since I already found this great buy at Jacob’s I just had to have the wine of the week. From one of my favorite producers, this is their Flag Ship wine and while not rated as high as some other vintages, this wine is a great buy and probably only available at Jacob Liquor Exchange on North Rock Road here in Wichita. Most on-line sources and the winery are sold out of this one.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2006 Geyser Peak Reserve Alexandre Meritage, Alexander Valley California
A multifaceted, noteworthy wine Reserve Alexandre strikes a balance between intensity and refinement. The core of the palate is reminiscent of black currant and pomegranate fruit complimented by floral aromas of rose petal and petunia. These fruit and floral notes are interwoven with lovely fresh earth aromas of warm stone and bittersweet chocolate. The graceful structure of this wine yields supple tannins with a silky mouth feel and the interplay of the five varietals results in a noble and luxurious wine. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 9% Malbec 7% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc. IWC 89 of 100
