Lake Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesAlexander Valley is a mostly warm AVA, especially on the floor of the valley, the home to these ripe cabernet sauvignon grapes. The Lake Sonoma style is soft and round, and as easy sipping as a cabernet sauvignon can be given the structure of the grape and the alcohol. In this case, it's just under 15 percent. That said, this will have many fans attracted to its savoury, wild blackberry, brown spice, and smoky, toasted oak. A comfort wine for comfort foods like braised beef, short ribs, or a sausage-ladened pizza. Good value.Tasted: 11 January 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
