By the glass. At the start you will be surprised by its fresh menthol notes (probably sold as "Sonoma freshness") on the nose. It is followed by spices and black berries manifesting in all their splendor on the palate with a serious intensity and some sharp tannins. Not bad at all for that interesting nose.
Por copas. De inicio sorprenden sus frescas notas mentoladas (seguramente se venderá como "frescura de Sonoma") en nariz. Le siguen especias y bayas negras que se manifiestan en todo su esplendor al paladar con una seria intensidad y unos cortantes taninos. No está mal por esa interesante nariz.

Tuesday Wines with Epic Wines; 9/15/2020-9/16/2020 (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): Youthful and firm, this Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon does a good job of masking the high 15.2% alcohol with dark chocolate, rich black currants, caramel, and chewy tannins. Had been decanted for 8 hours yet felt like it would have been better after 24. Structured for the long term.

Strong and soft structure that showed nicely after the wild 17’ harvest. Forgot the specific fruit notes, but a solid bottle worthy of a nice steak!
