2018 Alexander Paso Robles

Handpicked barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc from West Paso Robles. The blend offers a rich, complex, smooth and elegant wine. Tasting Notes A deep rich color, this wine shows an elegant nose predominately black cherry, boysenberry, cassis and other berries. The finish exhibits dry leather, ample amounts of vanilla, hints of cinnamon, prunes, plums and the earthy cedar and forest floor. A very tannic wine, bold, fully extracted built for long cellaring.
