Cellar for up to 6 years. Decant 2 hours. Deep garnet in colour, this Cabernet Sauvignon is nothing short of exceptional! The nose releases a myriad of aromas including blackcurrant, blueberry, tarragon, dried herbs and coffee. The palate delivers a wide range of different flavours through the complex layers in the wine. Blackcurrant, raspberry, redcurrant and blackberry all mingle fantastically with a hint of chocolate and herbs. The balance of well integrated tannin, acid and alcohol provide a full bodied wine that is a real winner. The finish is long and lingering with a savoury note to end. An excellent match with a joint of beef, venison, game and sausages. The Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 3 different vineyards: Red Tail Vineyard; Miraval Vineyard and Geyserville Estate Vineyard. All of the vineyards work organically and all provide slightly different nuances in the wines that are produced.
