esparto grass and thyme

So youthful

The fragrance gives off notes of citrus and menthol

ginger and memories of pastry and yeast

but is harmonious and well integrated despite the firm acidity that fuels it

The Setting Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA 2022 Vipava esparto grass and thymeThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, matured in 85% new French oak for 22 months, opens with red and black plum aromas that give way to nuances of lilac, garrigue, iodine and iron like mineral tones. The medium bodied palate is concentrated yet elegant, combining floral fruit with ultra powdery tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish. 3,000 cases produced. 95 Pts Wine Advocate
