Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose is black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, and wet clay.

Taste is bright acid with strong tanins. Tart cherry and peppercorn dominate.

I'm a little less partial to tart flavors, but they allay as it opens up. I wouldn't run back to this one, but would definitely not shy away from buying if I happened to be standing in front of it.

Some had this a year ago
