Stonestreet Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher's Alexander Mountain Estate 1997
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe blend is 94 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 6 cabernet franc all aged for 17 months in French oak, 77 percent of which was new. Open peppery earth and blackberry fruit nose --- very cabernet. Focused centre palate fruit with plenty of firm tannins mixed with an earthy leather prune character. Again there's an elegance and lean mid-palate at this young stage. Will need time to develop.
