Pretty pleasing #alexandervalley #cabernetsauvignon from Nice Winery. Cassis, black fruit nose, cocoa, faint dried herbs on palate. Palate is has middling acidity, lush fruit, some bitter chocolate notes and fine tannins on finish. — 2 years ago

Returning to one of my Fav Alexander Valley Cabs. Lovely candied black fruit and cedar and baking spice notes on the nose. Deep ruby color with secondary garnet hues. Delicious and so smooth on the palate. #silveroak #alexandervalley #lifeisacabernet — 5 years ago

This 04 is still in great shape. Deep purple color, black currant, pomegranate, oak nose. Smooth tannins with a peppery finish.

I was expecting a heavy extraction, moderately oaked #alexandervalley #cabernetsauvignon . Tasting notes are by memory from last week but purple/black berries, some earth on the nose. The palate was a delightful surprise with velvety dark fruit yet nice balance with acidity and lovely earthy, leather and some dried herb notes I couldn’t quite place. This 2013 is probably peaking now. — 2 years ago

Josh is a volume producer and their many labels can be hit-or-miss. However this is a solid Reserve #alexandervalley Cab effort. Nicely balanced on the palate, big purple/black fruit but not too jammy. Some spice notes and a velvety tannic finish. — 3 years ago

A truly varietal #cabernertsauvignon from #California #alexandervalley even though the vineyard borders on #russianrivervalley and #chalkhill Has a little bit of #petitverdot all’s I knows is this is about as close as California gets to a #claretstyle — 5 years ago

Truly historic, this wine. 43 year old vines planted by Rodney Strong, crafted by #Sebastiani winemaker of 30 years, Mark Lyon. Now in transition to #Biodynamic and on track to receive Demeter Certification late 2016, this wine carries even more value. And, oh my, does it deliver. Chocolate, cherry, blueberry, tea - this exemplifies all the special qualities #AlexanderValley is known for and more. Extraordinary. — 8 years ago
