2019 Alexander Valley Vineyards Alexander School Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, California, United States

Notes of ripe cherry, rich cassis, warm oak, and sweet vanilla rise from the glass. The wine itself is bold, carrying a dense, almost tactile mouthfeel. Deep flavors of dark berries intertwined with chocolate unfold slowly, leaving a lasting impression that speaks to the legacy of Alexander Valley and its Cabernet Sauvignon heritage. The conclusion stretches on gracefully, refusing to fade quickly.
