An exquisite effort from Todd Alexander, who once again shows his metal in producing some of the world’s best Cabernet, this time from Red Mountain in Washington. This Cabernet’s profile contains 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and is aged in 80% new French oak. Lucious on the nose with intense, but not overpowering scents of blackberry, rosemary, freshly tilled earth, and a bit of roasted chocolate. The palate really shines as the tannins are refined, the dark fruit is balanced with the wonderful acidity, and the secondary notes of sandalwood and spice are perfectly in sync throughout the finish. Give this wine some time in your cellar and your patience will be richly rewarded. Highly recommended. 455 cases produced.
