  Strong nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, light alcohol and pencil lead.
  
  Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn and earth.
  
  Medium on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
  
  This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. Showing nice balance and mouthfeel, with nice complexity.
  
  Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (90 minutes), and shows the complexity and structure.
