  • Background
    The Alexander Valley signature style is evident in this delicious cabernet: bold fruit aromas and flavors centered on red plum and boysenberry, and a rich and mouthfilling texture with soft tannins, all of which we’ve framed in the finest oak barrels for 18.5 months. Enjoy over the next 3 – 6 years.

    Excellent from the start to the lingering finish. Full bodied and flavorful. Black plum, berry and spice flavors. Oak imparts a toasty vanilla character that lingers through the silky finish.
