"The 2012 Mystique is a smoking value thatās made from 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 16 months in one-year-old barrels. Complex, elegant and seamless, with loads of spice, tobacco, violets and black plums, this full-bodied effort has a rocking texture, no hard edges and a terrific finish. Count me a fan. This beauty will drink nicely over the coming 5 to 7 years. Scott Greer continues to make full throttle, concentrated and textured efforts from his Sheridan Vineyard thatās located just outside the town of Zillah. While he opted to not produce his Singularity cuvee in either 2011 or 2012 (this is still a maybe), both vintages are strong, with his 2011s checking in near the top of the vintage. His 2012s should be a step up and have additional mid-palate depth and texture, as well as beautiful freshness. Nevertheless, both vintages are worth having in the cellar to say the least. In addition to some rock star reds, donāt miss his Chardonnay."

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.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
