"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach is another gorgeous wine from Alpha Omega. Tar, smoke, licorice and spices burst from the glass in a juicy, explosive Cabernet endowed with serious depth and personality. The firm mountain tannins are there, but they are nearly buried by the pure intensity of the fruit. Blackberries, ash, game and smoke are layered into a huge finish that will require a measure of patience. I was very impressed with the wines I tasted from Alpha Omega this year. Over the last few years, the wines have gotten increasingly polished and interesting. Alpha Omega sources fruit from a number of Andy Beckstoffer's best vineyards."

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.
