Winemaker's Notes:
Aromas of cassis, black plum, and ripe Bing cherry, with a touch of toasty oak. Complex notes of cocoa, cassis, pepper, and cedar. Black fruit dominates the entry followed by plum and black cherry with a spicy, lifted mid-palate. A bit of peppery cassis leads the finish with some roasted coffee notes and supple yet firm tannins.

This Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is incredibly food friendly and not a puzzle to pair with. It will bring out the best in grilled steaks with roasted mushrooms, Moroccan spiced lamb, and braised duck breast with carrot purée.

Critical Acclaim:
Vintage 2014 - Wine Enthusiast - 88 Points
Fermented entirely in stainless steel, this is an impressive wine for its price, meant to be enjoyed upon release. It offers a big grip of red and black fruit that are seasoned with caramel and clove. VIRGINIE BOONE
