The 2014 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a garnet color with a ruby red rim and bluish tint. It has an alluring nose of chocolate-covered strawberries, vanilla, nutmeg, truffle and sage.
On the palate, it has a broad yet delicate entry and offers cranberry flavors. These flavors are complemented by raspberry and pluot with savory black olive characters on the mid-palate.
The wine finishes with silky tannins, cedar and bramble flavors with excellent length and return.
This wine is drinkable upon release, but given proper cellaring conditions can be enjoyed through 2038.
