Alexander Valley muscle meets Bordeaux finesse in this polished, cellar-worthy bottling.

Dark cassis mingles with cedar shavings and crushed olive tapenade. Graphite minerality threads through tobacco-tinged mid-palate. Structured yet approachable now. Tannins firm but integrated. Classic Alexander Valley power tempered by winemaking restraint. Drinks beautifully today, holds another decade easily. Textbook California Cabernet with Old World sensibilities.
