Alexander School Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Hank Wetzel produced AVV’s first wines in 1975 and the wine world quickly took notice of the elegant Cabernet Sauvignons from Alexander Valley. Thirty years later in 2004 he decided to focus on the flavor profile that made the valley famous, releasing a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon known as Alexander School Reserve. We continue that tradition with this newest release, a testament to AVV Winemaker Kevin Hall's skill and the Alexander Valley's unique ability to grow amazing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Taste:Opulent with rich texture, balanced acidity, silky, smooth tannins. Layered dark fruits and a chocolate note.

After harvest the lot was de-stemmed, fermented, then aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 36 months to accentuate the complexity and firm tannins.
