Nose
Wonderfully complex aromas of fig, plum and ripe berry join subtle hints of vanilla, cocoa nibs and cola.
Palate
This wine has a full-bodied mouthfeel with complex tannins that give way to a lingering, silky finish.
Growing Conditions
Alexander Valley lies in the northeast of Sonoma County where mountains shelter the vines from the Pacific Ocean’s cooling influence, making it the ideal climate for growing premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
The vintage 2013 marked the second year of California's drought, stressing the vines and producing fruit with exceptional color and flavor. The dry spring and mild summer weather slowly brought our Alexander Valley Cabernet vineyards to the peak of ripeness in early October.
Bottling
Bottled April 2016.
Aging
24 months in French & American Oak.
Food Pairing
Being both full-bodied and elegant, our Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent accompaniment to richly flavored food such as Barbeque Beef Ribs, Chicken with Port and Figs, or Pan-Roasted Veal Chops with Mushrooms.
