Jaxon Keys 2007 Peterson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)

Country: US / Peterson Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Jaxon Keys / Mendocino County

The Ukiah Valley gets hot, no doubt, but 15.8% alcohol on a Mendocino Cabernet is still hard to take. This wine is very tightly wound, a little hot, a little flabby with a minty, cedar nose and flavors of blackberry and chocolate that eventually come through.
