Louis M. Martini
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep Ruby with black fruit aromas, earthy herb scents and soft spice. On the palate sweet fruits, cherry and currants, with licorice, tobacco and cacao notes on fine tannins, nice balance. Medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy oak, very nice and has some room for cellaring.

Dec 7th, 2022Blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon & 2% Petite Sirah, deep Ruby red with aromas of dark fruit, floral and toasty herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet currants with cacao and espresso notes. Full-body, well balanced with fine tannins on a medium+ spicy oak finish. Nice Value!

Dec 17th, 2020Is a good, steady weeknight dinner cab. Not over the top with fruit or body which was nice. But needs a little more complexity for me to rate higher. I would drink again on Tuesday night.

5 people found it helpfulSep 20th, 2014Classic Louis Martini, the 2013 Alexander Valley Cabernet is rife with steeped blackberries, plums, and black fruit in general. I've lingered over this glass trying to tease out which ones. A top note of cedar and dried thyme re-emerges on the back palate along with firm tannins and medium + acidity. As with all Louis Martini wines, they have the stuffing to last, and are well-priced for what they deliver. I haven't have a chance to age any of these, because I have have no cellar. If I did, well...
