We’ve had the great pleasure to feature Alexander Valley Vineyards several times over the last six years. Always, we have loved AVVs fantastic wines. For today’s wine, we were given free access to their collection - and we went right for the top.

Today’s 2006 Cyrus is AVVs flagship Bordeaux-style blend and we are enamored with it. Bold, bright, spiced, and richly layered, today’s wine is delicious, complex and intriguing. With its bright and balanced flavors, this wine is an easy companion for a great meal. We paired ours with freshly grilled burgers with all the fixings.

We give this 92 point (Wine Enthusiast) wine our very hearty Wine Spies recommendation.
