Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with red and black fruits, light wood, chocolates, light earth, herbs and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, plums, licorice, light cedar, earth, milk chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and entertaining.
Very true to the Terroir, and shows very much like an Alexander Valley Cabernet.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$45.

This seems to be a very typical northern Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a really dark wine with deep dark fruit punctuated with a slight vegetal tinge that I have come to expect from Alexander Valley. This is a really really good example of cooler climate Cabernet Sauvignon. I am a fan.
