Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is typically one of the softer, rounder manifestations of the varietal. This is the more open-structured of our two Cabernet bottlings, which reveals its accessible, yet substantial and age-worthy personality. Rich, plummy, lightly herbal, and toasty, with mild cassis character, this unfined, unfiltered wine will complement a wide variety of foods for many years.

Compared with the above Sonoma County Cab bottling, this has more intensity and more focused red fruits as usual. These ‘AV’ bottlings are aging really well and offer good versatility with the variety, bridging the gap between typical Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel fare. The red fruit and zippy acidity are the key here. It is as happy with steak is it is with pizza. 136 cases produced.
