Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley, 2010

$ 65.00

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.

Winemaker's Notes

There is a great deal of concentration with all the 2010 Cabernet bottlings. Red-fruited as well as black–fruited, slightly herbal with mouth-watering acidity, this is a very food friendly expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. It relies about as much on acidity for its ‘angles/structure’ as tannin which is rare for local Cabernet Sauvignon these days. While 100% varietal from Scherrer Vineyard, this part of the vineyard speaks more of the region than the specific site, so I ‘only’ label it such. This ages really well too.
