Sonoma Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark. BlackBerrys,plum and blueberry. What a treat!

Had with homemade Brie, apple, and prosciutto pizza. GREAT pairing. Delicious wine.

Awesome Sonoma taste. But a bit rough around the edges with its tannins.

Solid red with hints of fruit and spice. Solid representation of Alexander Valley.

ABV14.5%

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.

Classic California Cab, plum, berry, a little jammy; drinkable but easy for the alcohol to sneak up on you.

Deep ruby-purple color.
Aromas of blueberry jam, vanilla, spice.
Dry. Flavors of blueberry jam, cassis, vanilla, licorice. Rich and juicy. Rich, chewy tannins.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 3/5
Finish: 4/5

Took a bit to open up but enjoyed it once it did

Nice. Had it while grilling.
