The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley (89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot) is a structured, masculine, earthy style of Cabernet with a dense ruby/purple color as well as plenty of oak, spice, licorice, underbrush, and black cherry and blackcurrant fruit. This wine is less evolved than its 2012 siblings, so cellar it for several years and drink it over the following 12-15 years.
