Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

A truly varietal #cabernertsauvignon from #California #alexandervalley even though the vineyard borders on #russianrivervalley and #chalkhill Has a little bit of #petitverdot all’s I knows is this is about as close as California gets to a #claretstyle

Bold red with fruit notes. Opens well. Full body. Nice with food and alone.

Plum Nose
Rich Black fruit
Firm Tannin
Lingering Finish

American and French Used Oak
15% Whole Cluster
Nice low alcohol at 14.2
Earth and dark red fruit
Soft tannin and juicy

Red fruit forward and lighter on the oak and spice that I’ve come to expect from Napa.

I have not had this wine for a few vintages and forgot how good it is. Dark ripe fruit, moderate oak, tannins to age but very approachable in its youth.

Awesome wine !
