Sonoma Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and tobacco notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with pepper and some hints of smoky spice. Full tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice.

Nice wine. Smooth with a little fruit background. Goes well with the spicy chili for dinner. 2006 vintage, would buy again.

Classic Cabernet. Deep color. Classic Cabernet flavors with still-youthful acid and fruit, showing subtle signs of maturity. Beautifully integrated and polished.

Lush and supple with deep berry fruit. Classic Alexander Valley Cab

Tight, closed nose, on the palate little fruit, tons of vanillins, awkward tannins, almost no varietal character. No me gusta.

Nice ruby color. Blackberry and currant with medium long finish.

A little disappointed, nothing special, almost no fruit just underwhelming 

Tart, rich fruit with a peppery, earthy body. Very nice.

Sharp alcohol transitions into tart fruit
