"In the same ballpark, the 2012 Rising Tides checks in as a blend of 37% Grenache, 34% Syrah and 29% Mourvedre. Deeper and richer than the Sticks and Stones, it offers knockout cassis, blackberry, ground herbs, pepper and plenty of minerality in its sexy, full-bodied, seamless personality. There's enough mid-palate depth and fine tannin here to keep this drinking great for another 7-8 years, if not more. I had a fantastic tasting with owner/winemaker Matt Trevisan, and to my palate, this estate is at the top of their game. The wines have incredible purity across the board, and while they pack serious flavor and depth, they never seem heavy, over-the-top or cumbersome in the least. You can't go wrong with any of these."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
