This is our third vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and they keep getting better.

By sheer luck, in 2017, famous grape grower Alex Vyborny offered me some of his Cabernet fruit two weeks before fires prevented us from picking from our Dry Creek Valley fruit.

The location was a dream come true for me... his vineyards sit between the famous Silver Oak Cabernet vines and Peter Michael's world class properties in the middle of Knight's Valley. B-I-N-G-O!!

The warmer climate of Alexander Valley worked its magic this year... The color is dark purple with inviting aromas of rich dark fruits and flourishes of oak. I pick up sandalwood, cassis, orange peel, and mocha with wisps of cedar. The flavors are classic Alexander Valley terroir. There's darker fruit, but milk chocolate and baking spices pop into the finish. The after taste is lip smacking gorgeous. 

Once again this reminds me of the old-world styles of Napa Cabs from the 80's and 90's, but without the modern fruit bomb of Napa. Those never age. There's the elegance that French Bordeaux and Eifrig Cellars is known for.  It's also perfectly balanced and will age well. Drink from 2026 to 2031. Produced 42 cases.
