Alexander Beck 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
85% Cabernet 15% Merlot
Known for luscious Cabernet Sauvignons, this wine is a classic example of Alexander Valley’s intense, lively style. Forward fruit characters of black cherry and blackberry dominate the aromas, with underlying graceful notes of dark chocolate and black pepper. In typical Alexander Valley style, the bright fruit is nicely supported by a restrained oak character.
The palate is rich, round and lush, seamlessly pairing the cherry and berry fruit with a hint of spice and vanilla. Fine-grained tannins meld into a persistent, lingering finish.”
