Vintage notes
A superb vintage for Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Very refined with deep, almost opaque, purple-black color and outstanding flavor development. We were challenged this year by a warm winter, a cool spring, and three summer heat waves, but the gorgeous fruit at harvest released our worries. Yields were down we were blessed with great quality and consistency. Small clusters with some of the smallest berries we’ve ever seen. Very concentrated but marvelously flavorful!
