"The most brilliant of these blends is the 2005 Cuvee Kristina Proprietary Red (80% Syrah, 13% Grenache, and 7% Mourvedre). This fabulous wine boasts a deep blue/purple hue as well as a sumptuous bouquet of acacia flowers, melted licorice, blackberries, blueberries, creme de cassis, and subtle oak in the background. Superb ripeness, full body, beautiful opulence, nicely integrated acidity and tannin, and a tremendously long, expansive mouthfeel result in an outstanding effort. Sadly, it is very limited in availability."

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 warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
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.
