This wine has become a benchmark for Alexander Valley Cabernet, and to be able to get it at this price is a treat that you shouldn’t miss. Blackberry, red currant, mildly chalky tannins, soft spice and very soft dried herb notes are harmonious now and promise to deepen and gain elegance with cellar time. You’ll want some of this around ten years from now when equivalent value will cost a lot more. Contains 15.5% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 1.5% Malbec and 0.5% Cabernet Franc.
