Alexander Valley Vineyards

Varietal: Cabernet

Vintage: 2015

Country of Origin: California

Retail Price: $27.99

Tasting Notes: Always a sentimental favorite. A classic Bordeaux-styled wine with 83% cab complimented with touches of merlot, cab franc, petite verdot and malbec. Very concentrated flavors. Smoky, silky and smooth on the finish. 14 moths in oak only enhances the deep black cherry and plum flavors. A kiss of coffee and mocha on the nose. Perfect for any special occasion day ending in a “Y.”

Wine Rating System

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
