Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Exceptional cab from Alexander valley. I really love Alexander valley and Cabernet aged to about 10 years. This was mediocre but still enjoyable. Many people mentioned the longevity of this wine, but I think they were mislead by its subtle blandness. It’s oddly memorable but nothing that sets fireworks off. Drink now, it won’t improve with age, at least for the 2009 vintage.

1 person found it helpfulDec 31st, 2014Deep garnet red with brick edges. Tons of tertiary notes on this wine, truffles, mushrooms, soft dark fruits, plums and damp leaves. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) that are very well integrated and medium bodied. Well rounded and mix of soft plums and blackberries on the palate. A bit of dark cocoa, damp earthy notes and a slightly vegetal finish. Quite a bit of acidity. Medium finish. Drink now.

Jan 21st, 2017Still a deep ruby to the rim. Youthful aromas of ripe black fruit, just shy of jammy, with well-integrated wood, and an attractively subtle herbal, leafy component. Gripping tannins

Nov 3rd, 2018Deep crimson and dark fruit- blackberry and cassis- good tannins and acidity. 2009 was still drinking young and I think this wine can last for a while. Excellent structured wine
