Tasting notes
The 2014 Nervo Ranch Heritage Wine, from a parcel planted in 1896, opens with soaring aromatics. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, gravel, smoke and mint are some of the signatures in this remarkably open-knit, mid-weight Alexander Valley red. This is another magnificent wine that only continues to grow time in the glass. Tasted a full day after I first opened the bottle, the Nervo Ranch was even more striking.

The 2014 Proprietary Red Nervo Ranch Heritage comes from Geyserville where the oldest vines from this site were planted in 1896 and the terroir is of decomposed shale. The mixed blacks include Zinfandel, Negrette, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Grenache, Carignane, Trousseau Noir, Cardinale, Burger, and even a few white grapes such as Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This is a big, blue-fruited wine with blueberries and white flower jumping from the glass. It is dense ruby/purple, medium to full-bodied, with good acidity and, again, that Mediterranean earthy, herbal, meaty style. This is a beauty to drink over the next 7-8 years or more.
