Lot 495
2022 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 12-bottle case

Lot 495 is a 93-point James Suckling scored (under our label) estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon with a beautiful Bordelaise heart and New World stylings. We can’t reveal the exact varietal percentages, but the artfully crafted Cabernet core radiates with that signature Alexander Valley balance of power and elegance, while light touches of Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot add complexity and depth - a beauty that’s truly imbued with the soul of the region. Produced by a multigenerational Alexander Valley family producer, it’s a favorite among critics that’s steadily picked up 90+ vintage after vintage, and an absolutely killer deal on a premier Cab for OVER 70% OFF the source.

Welcoming aromas of cedar, baking spice, dark berries, eucalyptus, and plum sauce rise from the glass, haloed by graphite and crushed rock. The palate delivers a rustic charm, with dark fruit, turned soils, and clay pot framed by medium acidity and grippy, deftly-integrated tannins. The finish is long, filled with crushed violets, berry coulis, delicate barrel spice, vanilla blossom, and earth. Sumptuous.
