Just a humdrum #alexandervalley #cabernetsauvignon - the usual black/purple fruit, some chocolate notes, spice from barrel toast, nothing really exciting here, hard to get excited about the low QPR. — 2 years ago

I was expecting a heavy extraction, moderately oaked #alexandervalley #cabernetsauvignon . Tasting notes are by memory from last week but purple/black berries, some earth on the nose. The palate was a delightful surprise with velvety dark fruit yet nice balance with acidity and lovely earthy, leather and some dried herb notes I couldn’t quite place. This 2013 is probably peaking now. — 5 years ago

This 04 is still in great shape. Deep purple color, black currant, pomegranate, oak nose. Smooth tannins with a peppery finish.

Pretty, dark color in the glass. Not overly aromatic, slightly grippy mouthfeel. Dark berry and cherry flavors with delicious greenish tones and a hint of eucalyptus. Slight spice on the lingering finish. #alexandervalley #cab #lancaster #sonoma — 11 years ago

Fairly typical Sonoma County #cabernetsauvignon impressions on the nose, brambly fruit, touch of earth. Notably more dusty fruit on the palate, decent acidity considering how hot that year was. Less of a jam bomb so this #alexandervalley Cab was pretty enjoyable to me. — 2 years ago

Returning to one of my Fav Alexander Valley Cabs. Lovely candied black fruit and cedar and baking spice notes on the nose. Deep ruby color with secondary garnet hues. Delicious and so smooth on the palate. #silveroak #alexandervalley #lifeisacabernet — 7 years ago

Truly historic, this wine. 43 year old vines planted by Rodney Strong, crafted by #Sebastiani winemaker of 30 years, Mark Lyon. Now in transition to #Biodynamic and on track to receive Demeter Certification late 2016, this wine carries even more value. And, oh my, does it deliver. Chocolate, cherry, blueberry, tea - this exemplifies all the special qualities #AlexanderValley is known for and more. Extraordinary. — 10 years ago

Pretty pleasing #alexandervalley #cabernetsauvignon from Nice Winery. Cassis, black fruit nose, cocoa, faint dried herbs on palate. Palate is has middling acidity, lush fruit, some bitter chocolate notes and fine tannins on finish. — 4 years ago

Josh is a volume producer and their many labels can be hit-or-miss. However this is a solid Reserve #alexandervalley Cab effort. Nicely balanced on the palate, big purple/black fruit but not too jammy. Some spice notes and a velvety tannic finish. — 5 years ago

A truly varietal #cabernertsauvignon from #California #alexandervalley even though the vineyard borders on #russianrivervalley and #chalkhill Has a little bit of #petitverdot all’s I knows is this is about as close as California gets to a #claretstyle — 8 years ago
