River Road Vineyards
Alexander Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Still haven't had a wine made by Jo Freeman that I wasn't impressed by. Gorgeous dark purple color, with a highly aromatic nose, and notes of coffee, rich in blueberries and black berries with a round off of red currant, delicately wrapped in vanilla, spice, passing over the pallet in fine silk with a mild tannin, and ending in a finesse of mocha and creme-de-casis. The alcohol content is well under 14%, making it easy to drink by itself, especially after half an hour of decantering. Had half the bottle at home and half the bottle at a family owned Greek restaurant with a grilled lamb dish and it was perfect! I definitely want to try any other cabs he has crafted! Bravo!

Not my favorite, I thought it tasted a little sweet.

Yummy Alexander Valley wine. Buttery...tastes like butter, and buttery in mouthfeel. Enjoying it before dinner. Doesn't need food to prop it up.
