Summary

The Swanson Vineyards Alexis Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 is a distinguished wine from Napa Valley, crafted from grapes grown on their estate in Rutherford and Oakville. This flagship Cabernet, named after the founders' daughter, showcases the elegance of the cooler and wetter 2000 vintage, characterized by mature flavors of dried cassis, plum, and notes of cedar and tobacco. The wine exhibits the classic 'Rutherford dust' profile, imparting a unique earthy quality, with a fine tannin structure and balanced acidity, making it approachable for early drinking. Aged for 18–22 months in French oak, it is produced in limited quantities, recommending a brief decanting prior to serving.
