Oliver & James | Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley

Deep red in color with a vibrant garnet edge, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with layered aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, black cherry, and dark plum. Elegant notes of violet, cocoa powder, graphite, and fresh cedar add complexity, while hints of toasted vanilla from carefully integrated French oak provide depth without overshadowing the fruit. True to its Alexander Valley origin, the wine highlights rich black fruit, subtle herbal complexity, and a refined structure that gives the profile both depth and elegance. 

The palate is indulgently full-bodied, rich, yet balanced and polished, unveiling layers of blackberry preserves, black currant, dark cherry, and plum, complemented by bittersweet chocolate and dark fruit undertones. Fine-grained tannins offer a velvety texture, while vibrant acidity leads to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of dark fruit, cedar, mocha, and a hint of mineral freshness. Refined and charming in its youth, this Cabernet Sauvignon boasts the depth and structure to age gracefully over the years.
