Alexander Valley Vineyards
The 2006 is the result of a roller coaster year that meant smaller yields than we experienced the previous year. Yet it also brought a wine with richer colors and better balance. In the glass, the 2006 Estate Cabernet displays big aromas of black cherry, cassis, cocoa powder and plum and flavors of cassis, black cherry and plum along with soft, integrated tannins. This is certainly a great wine to serve with beef, whether braised short ribs or a Tuscan steak rubbed with olive oil and rosemary.
Wine Enthusiast
A likeable Cab that shows the herbal, earthy character of Alexander Valley, and also a good deal of elegance. Alongside the sage and tobacco flavors are savory cherries, blackberries, red currants and root beer. Best now through 2013.
