The Setting Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA 2022 Napa Valley where chocolate-covered cherryThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, matured in 85% new French oak for 22 months, opens with red and black plum aromas that give way to nuances of lilac, garrigue, iodine and iron like mineral tones. The medium bodied palate is concentrated yet elegant, combining floral fruit with ultra powdery tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish. 3,000 cases produced. 95 Pts Wine Advocate
