Product Ratings
James Suckling 92pt

Aromas of blackberries, plums, licorice, cedar and a touch of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied with smooth, supportive tannins and fresh acidity, giving dark fruit, spices and a faint earthy touch. Rich yet balanced with freshness. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Wine Enthusiast 90pt

Aromas of candied cherry, raspberry, mint, and licorice drive the nose of this blend. The palate is chock full of drying tannin, with flavors of plum, cocoa, earth, and violets resonating through the finish.

Description

Another marvelous red from veteran winemaker Nick Goldschmidt. Fidelity is a Bordeaux-styled wine that is rich, smooth, and perfect for casual dining. Fidelity will surprise you with its great taste! Nick Goldschmidt knows all the great spots for growing Cabernet and Merlot in the Alexander Valley. He has farmed The Crazy Creek Estate for over 25 years and just loves the quality of fruit, vintage after vintage. In this blend, Merlot offers a round and silky mouthfeel, Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, and Petit Verdot gives tannin, color, and flavor. Few winemakers offer such quality for the price.
