2009 O'Blivion's Reincarnation, Sierra Foothills: Returning to the tradition of poorly-behaved wines in the series of obscure O'Blivion red blends begun in 2005, we offer this unusual but certifiably delicious blend of Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, Charbono, Carignane and Malbec.

2009 Alicante Bouschet Port, Fair Play, Estate Serendipity Hill Vineyard: One bin of our 2009 Alicante Bouschet was picked at over 28% sugar, and that gave us the opportunity to make an exquisite port-style wine from our new favorite grape. It is as rich and luscious as any port we have ever made, with the mouthfeel of chocolate frosting. Only 47 cases made!
Awards: Not yet entered in competitions.
Price: $20.00 (375 ml bottle)
