This lighter expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the sun-kissed vineyards of Alexander Valley, offers a refreshing take on this iconic varietal. Aged in American oak, the wine strikes a perfect balance between vibrant fruit and subtle oak influence. The nose is expressive, with aromas of fresh blackberries, cassis, and ripe plum, complemented by hints of vanilla, toasted coconut, and a touch of spice from the oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with soft tannins, showcasing flavors of juicy dark fruit, a dash of cocoa, and a whisper of cedar. The bright acidity and smooth texture make it an approachable and versatile wine, perfect for those who enjoy a more graceful Cabernet Sauvignon that doesn’t overwhelm the senses. The influence of American oak adds depth and a subtle creaminess, without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. This wine is an ideal match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a savory charcuterie platter, offering a wine experience that is both elegant and approachable.
