Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2016

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander's Crown is powerful, intense and super-distinctive. Herbs, rose petal, pomegranate, lavender and raspberry jam hit the palate as this full-throttle, dramatic Cabernet shows off its distinctive savory personality. Readers should expect a big, jammy Cabernet endowed with considerable power. At the same time, the Alexander's Crown is a rare wine that manages to be both big and highly nuanced.

A wine that I first recommended highly from the 1974 vintage has reappeared. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander’s Crown is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from this site. There are 1,770 cases of this, which was also bottled unfiltered. Lots of jammy crème de cassis, licorice, charcoal and toasty notes are present in this full-bodied, exuberant, boisterous Cabernet Sauvignon that hits the palate with a thunderous display of glycerin, fruit extract and sweet tannin. This is a big, rich, impressive Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15-20 years. Tel. (707) 431-1533
