Andy Erickson crafts rich, opulent wines for proprietor Xavier Cervantes. My favorite wine in this range consistently is Blacktail, a blend that incorporates dollops of Malbec, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon in Pope Valley can be overly rich and heavy, but when it is blended, the results can be compelling.
