Alpha Omega
Proprietary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
To celebrate my 4000th review on vivino, here is a beautiful, beautiful Bordeaux blend from Napa.
Dark inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cherries, licorice, cedar, earth, vanilla, leather, raisins, mocha, chocolates, coke, tobacco leaf, cinnamon, eucalyptus, Indian spices, pencil lead and black pepper.
Full bodied, smooth, elegant and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, ripe plums, cherry pie, dried figs, tobacco leaf, graphite, spices, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon, coffee, mocha, coke, light bell pepper, earth, peppercorn and leather.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a fabulous Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing great complexity and balance. This 9 year old is still very fruity with all these chocolate and mocha notes.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (30 minutes), and gets earthier after 90 minutes.
Although this is drinking so very nicely now, it could age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.
A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 Months in 80% New oak barrels. Some of the grapes came from the To Kalon Vineyard.
Delicious, delightful and exquisite.
14.1% alcohol by volume.
98 points.
$150.

This cab blend is right in its window at the moment, so drink up! Nicely done, Jean. Still have great memories of visiting the winery 6 years ago.

May 9th, 2015A nose of blackberry and spice, tastes amazing, all 4 grapes really blend nicely here to create a very smooth flavorful wine. I bought two bottles of this at their location last year and kinda balked that they were charging $100 a bottle for it, but I've really enjoyed both bottles. Paired with a rib eye and a variety of grilled vegetables- it was a great wine and a great meal. 2010 vintage.

Apr 5th, 2015Subtle flavors and familiar overtones tumble over each other in a wild dance around the palette.
Gorgeous Thanksgiving wine.
Conjures images of family and years past.

Cloudy with a sharp nose, but deliciously full bodied and smooth. Strong cherry notes, rich stone fruit, and slight pepper. Excellent.
