ALEXANDER VALLEY VINEYARDS ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2008

There are few places better suited for Cabernet Sauvignon than the Alexander Valley, which is why it's become our signature wine. Warm summer days tempered by morning coastal fogs combine to help create a refined Cabernet that is at once approachable upon release, yet with the fortitude to develop with time.

Those qualities are immediately evident when you uncork a bottle of the year. Though yields were substantially reduced, the fruit that arrived at the winery beginning in early September was very concentrated. A taste of the wine after it had been in the barrel for several months indicated that this was going to be a wonderfully balanced Cab.
