Country: US / E. Passalacqua Heritage Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Gia Domella / Alexander Valley
This is really a nice Cabernet Sauvignon. Soft and polished, it shows herb and cassis flavors, wrapped in rich smoky oak, with a long, dry finish. The tannins are quite strong now, giving the wine a chewy toughness and suggesting moderate aging. Hold until after 2008.
