Volker Eisele Family Estate 2008 Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Alexander
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Volker Eisele Family Estate / Napa Valley

Made from 100% Cabernet, this is a worthy followup to the extraordinary 2006 and 2007 vintages. Feels fine in the mouth, with rich tannins and dry, elegant flavors of blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate and French oak. The tannins are pure Napa, smooth and complex. Not ready to drink now, but give it a good six years, and it could develop over the next fifteen.
