I think this falls into the category of "I respect it but don't want to drink it." Huge acid, so much so uncharacteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon. Spicy mid palate. Light to medium body. color barely darker than Pinot noir. An interesting style for California Cab and I'm sure would be more respectable with food.

Recommended by Brian at World Wines in Mentor OH, with Steak Diane, Carrots, and Grilled Asparagus. Loved the ripe fruit, and the oak and tannins wiped the palate between mouthfuls of the flavorful meal.

Alexander Valley cab. Nice structure good mineralization for a California cab. Texture is more peppery than fruity.
