About This Wine:

Aged for 12 months in French oak. A ruby red, deep-colored wine. On the nose its an elegant, complex and intense wine with red fruits evocations of blackcurrant, chocolate, black pepper and cigar box aromas, its affinity with oak lends vanilla and coffee notes, a wine in perfect balance of real finesse and class.

It shows great complexity on the mouth, a full bodied and balanced mid palate, with classical Cabernet notes and soft but firm tannins with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2008 Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon is a glass-coating opaque purple color with aromas of wood smoke, pencil lead, scorched earth, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Structured on the palate, but slightly clipped in the finish, another 2-3 years of bottle age could round it out but that is a gamble. Drink this Cabernet sooner rather than later." - Jay Miller (Dec 2010)

Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Lightly firm, with a muscular core of blackberry, currant and licorice snap notes laid over a loam and coffee undertow. Slightly chunky, but pushes through well enough on the finish. Drink now. 25,000 cases imported." –JM (Nov 15, 2010)
