Alexander Valley power meets Bordeaux elegance in this stellar vintage.

Dark cherry and mocha leap from the glass. Bay leaf adds herbaceous complexity to chocolate-laced fruit. Graphite minerality threads through dense, velvety tannins. Mid-palate shows remarkable concentration without heaviness. Alexander Valley warmth tempered by mountain fruit precision. Finish extends with dark chocolate and mineral notes. Built for decades. This vintage captures the appellation's best qualitiesโ€”power with restraint.
