2021 The Setting Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
As a 100% varietal similar to our Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is sourced from cooler vineyard sites which gives it a bright acidity accentuating the tannins and formulates a beautiful texture throughout the palate. Jesse Katz crafts this wine to be vibrant and fresh in style. It is refined and elegant with rich notes of dark chocolate, rose petal and a hint of cinnamon.
Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley was matured for 22 months in 80% new French oak. The nose features maraschino cherries, dark chocolate, aniseed, violet and a singular array of exotic spices. The medium-bodied palate is surprisingly light on its feet, with a frame of silky tannins and seamless acidity that highlights pretty floral and chocolaty tones on the finish. It has depth and complexity without weight and drinks beautifully straight from the bottle. 650 cases were made.
James Suckling
Black currants and black berries with lead pencil and some asphalt aromas. Ink pot. Medium to full body with creamy and polished tannins that are fine and velvety on the palate. Fresh and subtle with polish and finesse. Drink or hold.
