Tasting note

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is easily recognizable as classic Alexander Valley with medium body, bright berry flavors and smooth, structured tannins. Winemaker Kevin Hall blended in Malbec and Petit Verdot for color, Merlot for a hint of structured dark fruit, and a touch of Cabernet Franc for aromatics. This is a fruit forward Cab with earthy aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, cherry, hints of chocolate, vanilla and oak.

The producer suggests

Grilled or pan seared beef, lamb or tuna is a classic. Enjoy with roasted beet soup for a vegetarian twist.
