Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: Dubbed already by Valley insiders as "a keeper" (referring to its ageing potential), this big, extractive '01 begins with seductive, spicy varietal aromas. Its complex flavors (Bing cherries, plums, and crushed blackberries) are rich, and ripe, with characteristics typical of Field Stone's definitive "Alexander Valley Style": rich fruit forward, with attractive notes of oak that never dominate. The intense fruit core carries through in a powerful finish still in its developing stage. This is a Cabernet that can be enjoyed now with great pleasure, while its "forgiving tannins" bespeak its outstanding ageing potential for ten to fifteen years.
