2005 Ramazzotti Regale Reserve, Alexander Valley, CA, $100 (S) – Rating 91
Ramazzotti Regale Reserve is a Bordeaux-style Cabernet / Merlot based blend that really delivers. A rather complex wine with rich Cabernet flavors and fully integrated tannins. There’s just enough Cabernet Franc (14.5%) to add a kick of spice and pepper, which we found intriguing.
