The 2012 Alpha Omega Cabernet is an a strong effort from this great vintage. Alpha Omega has blended this Cabernet from 19 different Vineyard sites, including Beckstoffer To Kalon, Missouri Hopper and Las Piedras vineyards. The wine was fermented on French oak and is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet starts with aromatics of mint, eucalyptus, black olive, and blackberry preserves with a touch of milk chocolate. The wine has flavors of mocha, creme de cassis, anise and coffee grounds. Gorgeous texture and balance as this is drinking beautifully right now. (Best 2016-2030) - May, 2016 (OB)
