Swanson 2009 Alexis Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Alexis
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Swanson / Napa Valley

This is Swanson’s top Cabernet, which includes a splash of Merlot. As always, it’s rich, tannic and dry, and it possesses a deep core of blackberry and black currant flavors. It seems more tannic and sharp than in previous vintages, which suggests its ageability. Try holding it until 2015.
