Strong Nose of black fruits, light oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Very dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing black plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, light earth, herbs, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium length on the finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 8 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley is still drinking nicely, but lost some of the fruits by now. Past its prime, but still enjoyable.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Aged in Oak barrels for 14 months.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25 (current vintage).

PnP, with a rack of lamb. distinctive cab nose, dark ruby red, dark fruits, slight acidity, tannins not noticeable, alcohol not listed on the label?, but noticeable in the back of the throat. The drinking window is open and will be for years to come. Oh, BTW..great QPR as usual

Bordeaux-style blend with both sweet and savory notes. Paired well with quail in fig sauce. Our 375ml bottle was definitely ready to drink but not over the hill.

Didn’t strike us as a typical “Alexander Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon”
