The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley comes from one of the coldest sites from which they farm Cabernet Sauvignon. A dark red color, the wine is forward with blue-fruited highlights and shining with notes of juniper, pine, violets, forest floor, and fresh herbs. It’s long, elegant, and focused on the palate, with a more linear feel, an even plushness of tannins, and redcurrants, cassis, and vanilla shining through to the long finish. Drink 2025-2050.

Generous aromas of crushed raspberry, plum compote, cocoa and crushed herbs explode on the nose of this Cabernet. The palate displays rich, supple tannin balanced by juicy acidity and flavors of cherry gastrique, raspberry liqueur, graphite and herb mélange that dance and dart across the long finish. Delicious now, this will benefit from some time in the cellar. — Tom R. Capo

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, matured in 85% new French oak for 22 months, opens with red and black plum aromas that give way to nuances of lilac, garrigue, iodine and iron-like mineral tones. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated yet elegant, combining floral fruit with ultra-powdery tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish. 3,000 cases produced.- EB

A beautiful, supple and rich-tasting red that’s generous in black fruit, blueberries, cocoa and vanilla bean flavors. Full-bodied, appropriately tannic and smooth. The blackberries and black cherries linger nicely in the finish. Drink now or hold.
