Volker Eisele Family Estate 2007 Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US

Province: California

Region: Napa Valley

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Winery: Volker Eisele Family Estate

Points: 95

Taster:

This is a big, age-worthy 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted now, it’s dryly tannic, with the black currant and crème de cassis flavors buried under a cloak of astringency. New oak, which comprises 80% of the barrels, adds even greater tannins. Give this wine at least six years, and it should continue to blossom in a good cellar for another decade.
