Ledson Winery & Vineyards, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Ledson’s estate vineyard in the Alexander Valley has become a force in the California Cabernet world. It’s latest scalp taken was the Wine of the Year award at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge in San Diego. Just a few months prior, a Cab produced by the same vineyard was similarly honored at the Sommelier Challenge in San Diego. The 2016 Reserve exhibits impressive richness and depth without losing the essence of elegance that is essential in great wines. Remarkably complex, the Reserve delivers a layered palate of rich, dark fruits with a generous does of wood spice, a touch of graphite and beautifully integrated tannins for a smooth ride into the sunset.
