Lot 37 2023 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Sourced from an amazing vineyard site at 1,300-1,500 feet elevation in the mountains of newly formed Pocket Peak sub-AVA in Alexander Valley, Lot 37 2023 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous wine. Beautifully perfumed aromatics combine with an elegantly rendered-yet-robust mountain structure to produce one of the more sophisticated and pure Cabernet's I have tasted from this region - truly a terroir-driven effort.

The producer is a small boutique operation (and the Lot size here of 330 gallons will only get us about 130 cases of wine) but rest assured, this is first run juice produced at a super high-end custom crush facility and raised in 50% new French oak cooperage.

Normally priced in the $50-80/bottle range (sorry, I need to be a little nebulous here but it's quite reasonably priced, actually, given what others in the region are charging), today it's your for just $18/bottle.

Trust me folks, this is an elegant, complex and remarkably terroir-driven wine and an absolute steal at this price. Beautiful, precise fruit combined with a seamless, finesse-driven structure makes for a most compelling and sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon!

Vibrant deep ruby in the glass with a beautiful, lively bouquet featuring spicy, powdery florals mingling with black current and black cherry complexed with pencil lead and a kiss of tobacco leaf and light cocoa underpinning. Super lifted and pretty, the nose alone is worth the price on entry. Medium-full bodied on entry with exquisite balance yet bursting with elegantly rendered boysenberry and black currant attenuated over nicely integrated, robust, mineral-driven tannins and a nice sweet tobacco flourish. Finishing long, complex, pure, and elegant, this is a very sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon that hews true to its sense of place. Super pretty, it drinks great now but will age gracefully for another 10-15 years.
