Tasting Notes

WA90–92+

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, which is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, is their biggest cuvée of 3,640 cases. It is scheduled for bottling in January of 2015. Hints of graphite, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit with some licorice, loamy soil, vanilla and spice box are all present in this medium to full-bodied wine. It’s full-bodied and relatively opulent with a nice tannic structure in the background. This should drink well for 15-20 years. Range: 90-92+

WS90

Well done in a Bordeaux style, this shows dusty, cedary cigar box and tobacco notes amid graphite accents and gravel-laced tannins. The tannins have grip on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 3,640 cases made.
