Frei Brothers, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I don’t see a lot of Cabernet of this quality at this price, particularly in a wine that should be pretty easy to find.  It’s a perfect bottle to put next to a classic Napa offering to illustrate the difference that the west side of the mountains makes, showing more red fruit and tea than its neighbors to the east, while still offering classic Cabernet elements.  It’s a drinker!  Contains 8% Petite Sirah and 1% Merlot.
