Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Cabernet Sauvignon produces wines of intensity and depth of flavour. Classically, these flavours are cassis, plum, black cherry and anise. Herb, olive, mint, tobacco and cedar are often associated with Cabernet Sauvignon wine, as well. If Merlot is a constituent in the wine these nuances are brought forward. The firm tannins of Cabernet often need some time to soften. This barrel aging this also lets the wine pickup character from the wood, usually vanilla and buttered toast.

Food Pairings

Grilled or pan seared beef, lamb or tuna is a classic. For an unexpected pairing try a blue cheese soufflé as an appetizer.
