Alessio Proprietary Red Blend 2016
It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here's a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend.
Full bodied with medium acidity and elegant.
Dry and very fruity on the palate.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, cola, light herbs, Mediterranean spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite and light dark coffee.
This is a wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant, thick and fruit forward.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Showing great complexity, although still young, and drinking very nicely right out of the bottle.
This 2016 was a great vintage and it is definitely showing. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Soft and smooth. Rich and extracted. Delicious . I just love these Napa Bordeaux blends.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses, and will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. Made by Russell Bevan.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
