Since the 1950s, Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley has produced world-class Cabernet Sauvignon thanks to its gravelly soils and high daytime temperatures which fully ripen the grapes. The Owl Ridge 2013 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of the region. Almost floral aromas of cassis, candied fruit and pine abound with a hint of chicory.
The 2013 Owl Ridge Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays rich cacao flavors alongside pronounced layers of dark berries, Christmas spices, coffee and molasses on the palate. The intriguing finish features cranberry, leather and molasses. This Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking well now and gets better every time we taste it. Pair with chicken pasta Alfredo, baked ziti and Stilton cheese.
