Alexander Valley Vineyards
Reserve Alexander School Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Pretty color of deep ruby with a short reddish rim.
Earthy nose with black currants, black plums, black cherries, bell pepper, tobacco leaf, oak, light vanilla, pencil lead, black pepper, chocolates, green vegetables, dirt and herbs.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, coffee, earth and cola.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley in California. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Tasty, rich and opulent.
This Single Vineyard is still very young and needs another five years in the bottle to mature. Will age nicely in the next 10 years.
Much more earthy and complex on the nose than on the palate, at this point. Although earthy, it is showing a lot of fruits. Very true to the terroir.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Good by itself and better with food.
A great wine to pair with BBQ meats.
I paired it with meats and cheeses, and paired very nicely with the goat cheese.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 28 months in French Oak barrels (100% New). Limited production.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$50.
