Today’s Geyser Peak Winery 2009 Alexander Valley Ascentia Cabernet Sauvignon is one serious wine. If you like your Cabs big and brawny, this is the wine for you.

Today’s wine is best decanted, as a little air will really help it come alive. Once it opens, notes of earth, spice, and tobacco will be joined by dark fruit, creating a very well rounded and robust drinking experience. On the finish, the wine slowly trails away, with a touch of dark spice lingering on the very tip of your tongue.

Need a good wine to pair with your next steak dinner? We’ve found your winner!
