... dense purple color with boisterous, sweet, spicy, new oak, licorice, and olive notes...In the mouth, it reveals medium body, sweet jammy cherry fruit, and a soft finish...

...Classic California cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, tar and menthol. Began slightly lean and herbaceous but seemed to put on weight and gain in texture as it opened in the glass. Firm acids are a bit tart but not quite spiky. Finishes firmly tannic, with a faint greenness and a note of coconutty sweet oak.

A bit chalky at first, it turns to herb, currant and coffee flavors that are rich and elegant, finishing with dill and sage notes and chewy tannins. Drink now through 2008...

About the Wine
"The 2000 growing season will be remembered for the harvest that wouldn’t end. A mild spring induced even flowering and a good set. By mid-September it had warmed up and harvest was in full swing. Then the weather shifted radically and the end of September was unseasonably cool. Extra time on the vine was beneficial for wine quality and harvest was finally completed on November 1st, the longest in our 29 year history.
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: The 2000 Alexander Valley is a classic, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a ruby-red color and an expressive nose of cassis, blueberries, blackberries, soy sauce and vanilla. It is luscious and full-bodied on the palate and has an incredibly long finish of ripe berry fruit, vanilla and a hint of dill. This wine will continue to improve until 2018 given proper cellaring. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon"
