Alexander Valley has long been known for its fruit forward; full blown; expressive wines. This Cabernet grown on a single hillside vineyard in the cooler areas is no exception. Filled with open aromatics of cassis; ripe plum and dark fruit compote all framed in an attractive vanilla scented toasty oak and baking spices. The mouth filling flavors are backed by a matrix of soft acidity and fleshy tannin.
