This is a stunning example of Alexander Valley Cabernet with a beautifully rich, silk-like texture. The 2016 vintage shows a gorgeous nose of ripe raspberries, cassis and delicate florals while evoking notes of red cherries, plums and black currants supported with refreshing acidity on the palate. The lingering finish gives way to graceful tannins giving this vintage an elegantly structured balance. | The SettingMade by the talented and up and coming Jesse Katz, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is all hillside Cabernet and spent 18 months in 80% new French oak. This deep purple-hued effort offers a complex bouquet of spiced blackcurrants, blueberries, violets, incense, and forest floor. Showing the purity and class of the vintage with its full body, light, elegant texture, sweet tannins, and beautiful balance, it's a beautiful Sonoma Cabernet that can be enjoyed today with tons of pleasure or cellared for 15-20 years. | 93+ points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
