Lot 456
2022 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

750ml

$80/bottle under the original label

We’ve secured a gorgeous Bordeaux-styled Cab from Alexander Valley from a producer who has set the high-water mark since the early 70s, requiring an allocation to access.

Pouring a beautiful dark color in the glass, the wine boasts a captivating depth and concentration, revealing a welcoming bouquet of cherry, boysenberry, dried herbs, and leather. On the palate, dark fruits mingle with cherry-like acidity, wet gravel minerality, and a hint of peppercorn spice, leading to polished-yet-grippy tannins. The finish is enduring, barrel-focused in its youth with toffee, vanilla, and nutmeg overlaying umami-rich black fruit that promises plenty of complexity yet to come with bottle aging.
