Swanson Vineyards

92 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '05 Swanson Alexis shows classic Napa structure, with hard but near-perfect tannins and lush, oak-sweetened black currant, cherry and dark chocolate flavors.

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '04 Swanson Alexis is big, ripe and intense, without being clumsy; shows rich plum, blackberry and black cherry that's well proportioned; ends with long, persistent finish.

Supple yet well-structured, with cherry blossom and toasty vanilla aromas and sleek red currant and Asian spice flavors.
