Ok @Todd Abrams so this has some burgundy characteristics like an old aged burgundy but it is dense like a Bordeaux.

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Quite the baby since it's not even released yet, but has plenty of potential. From 40+ year-old vines from Todd Bros Ranch in red volcanic soils, just bottled last month after 18 in French barriques. Minerality of the soil jumps out of the glass right away, but needs air to let the fruit and tannin really come into play. — 10 years ago

Mike and Anne say that the 05 is drinking very well now, it wasn't as big as the 04, but very well-balanced and integrated.

@Todd Abrams I was feeling frisky so I opened this guy up. I guess I was expecting something like a lemonhead candy. Surprise. There is lemon there more like a lemon edge followed by something nutty. Maybe almonds. That's what I usually get with all of these palate cleansers. Very enjoyable. Thanks dude!! — 8 years ago

Really nice bottle of wine. For me the thing that stands out is that it is so drinkable right now. There is some vicious legs on this puppy and I am going to stash a few bottles in the cellar to see what a little age would do. Great pick @Todd Abrams — 9 years ago

Shared a bottle with my friend Todd at End of Elm in Morristown NJ. Called ahead and had them open it up about an hour before arriving. Great balanced wine. Lots of dark fruit. Just ripe with strawberry and raspberry. Easy to drink on its own. Nice mouth feel. Followed it with a bottle of Girrard zin. Another total winner. — 10 years ago

Right Bank Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Aging nicely. Black currants, violets, and a touch of anise on the nose. The palate is still quite youthful with loads of dark fruit, baking spices, and perhaps just a touch of heat. Lovely mouthfeel. This can easily go another 10-15 years. Todd Anderson rocks! — 9 years ago
