Alexander Valley Vineyards Wetzel Family Estate Alexander Cabernet 2022 Rated 92JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
A fresh, mineral-driven nose showing notes of red currants, tea leaves, cassis and red peppercorns. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins, bright acidity and lingering notes of cherries, pine, tomatoes and spices. Drink or hold.
