John Sloat Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 Alexander Valley
A classic Alexander Valley wine with medium body, bright berry flavors, and smooth, structured tannins. Complex and food-loving with notes of black currant, brambleberry, rich mocha, and earthy tobacco that segue to flavors of red cherry, ripe fig, and a hint of dried lavender. The palate is well structured and silky, with a persistent finish.

The John Sloat Cab offers classic black fruit character, earthy mineral nuances, lifted violets, and a toasty oak undercurrent, framed by fine tannins and an enticing fruit-driven finish nuanced by unsweetened cocoa powder and graphite.

There is a lovely plushness and generosity here with layers of blackberries, herbs and spice, earth with a savory undertone. The palate is medium-bodied with finely tuned tannins, bright acidity and a fruit-driven, juicy finish. Great value at $20 USD with lovely purity. Drink now.
