Williams & Heim, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Here is a bold expression of Alexander Valley that needs some bottle age to fully integrate.  Blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, cedar spice and mild dried herb aromas lead to a palate that delivers those elements under oak toast that will come into harmony with the other elements with about five more years in the bottle.  If you can’t wait, I’d decant overnight and serve with lamb or other rich meats.  Contains 5% Merlot
