PnP. Aromas of cassis, hint of herbs with some noticeable alcohol. Palate has plush cassis, dark chocolate, hint of menthol. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with mild tannins. Easy drinking and pleasant and somewhat simple. Some noticeable alcoholic heat on the finish.

The profile of the 2012 Louis M. Martini Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is consistent with the profile of the 2013 I reviewed last spring—how did I manage to get the vintages out of order? No matter, these are wines with great aging potential, they can be squirreled away for a decade or more. Black currants, plums, cola, dried mint and aged leather—it's satiny-smooth on the palate, with ample concentration and suave yet ripe tannins. A hedonistic Sonoma Cab with a modest price tag. 14.3% ABV
