Alpha Crucis, McLaren Vale (Australia) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Jun 18, 2014

By Robert Whitley

The Alpha Crucis ‘Titan’ Cab may well be one of the finest you will find at this price today. It delivers intensity and purity of flavor that would easily compete against wines at twice the price. This vintage exhibits a hint of eucalyptus and spice, dense layers of red and black fruits on the palate, and a long finish that is grippy now, but that should smooth out after another two or three years in the cellar.  A Platinum award winner at the 2014 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
