Alpha Omega II Napa Proprietary Blend 2008 Red Wine

Alpha Omega Winery
Color: deep dark black cherry with mashed strawberry on the rim.
On the nose: soft oak with touches of pipe tobacco balanced with dark fruit like blackberry and black cherry with ginger bread, clover, cassis, strawberry, fresh plum, geranium, violet and lavender.
On the palate: velvety entrance evolving on soft ripe tannins and dark chocolate with touches of cassis, crushed rock, blueberry, red currant, maple leaf, roses and cherry liqueur lingering on density, clay and freshly picked plums. The vintage was a great balance between the elegance of 2006 and a touch of the 2007 concentration. Therefore, this 2008 vintage has great balance..
