"An impressive Alexander Valley wine made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and the rest equal parts Malbec and Petit Verdot, it spent 22 months in 65% in new French oak, with 500 cases produced. The wine reveals a classic Alexander Valley earthiness, lots of density as well as a masculine personality, with great fruit, deep blueberry and blackberry notes, dusty, loamy soil undertones, underbrush and spice. Full-bodied, intense and drinking well, it should last easily . . ."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
