Soil Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Delicious Alexander Valley Cab. Smooth and elegant. Sonoma cabs always a bit more constrained than Napa. Very nice.

Opened and stoppered in the fridge for a couple of days did this wonders.

Over-the-top with fruit. Where’s the rest?

The fruit is second only to the fruit!😝😝😝

Wow. Power, purity, elegance, and depth. Layers of red and black fruit / leather / chocolate / tobacco. Can’t miss.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, from vineyards in Alexander County, is bold and savory in the glass. Dark cherry, tobacco, iron, leather and dried herbs give the 2018 plenty of character as well as punch. The tannins are perhaps just a bit rustic. Otherwise, the 2018 is nicely done.

Graphite, cigar, chocolate, dried basil(?), over dark berries. Nice structure, a little tight, but good to go for those tempted early. Cheers.

Deep and dark purplish red. Layered nose with milk chocolate, plums, spice box and dark minerality. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Lush mouthfeel and dark flavors on the palate with notes of blackberries, cassis, graphite, dark chocolate and minerality. Long finish. Drink till 2032. (91+)

Really nice! Blueberry, blackberry, cinnamon, crushed rocks, gravel, and hints of vanilla toasted oak. This screams Sonoma from the really nice acidity that keeps it bright and fresh.

4% Malbec. Beautiful.
