Description

This wine presents a deep purple color and a smooth,full-bodied texture. There are vibrant red fruity aromas of cherry, blueberry, and a hint of black cherry, complemented by a touch of French vanilla oak. On the palate, blueberry and black cherry persist, balanced by the signature electric tension of Alexander Valley that keeps the wine bright and supple. The finish is rounded with plush, velvet-like tannins, making it a wine you’ll want to revisit for another glass. Pair best with red meat such as prime rib, filet mignon, or rack of lamb. Drink now through 2035.
