Cabernet Sauvignon – Frei Brothers Reserve Alexander Vly 17

There are 3 valleys in Sonoma, as you head inland they provide buffer to the cool Pacific ocean. Alexander Valley runs from the centre of the Sonoma County east to the Mayacamas range that borders with Napa. Warming heat and less ocean influence allows the reds like Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen especially well. Alexander Cabernets are known for a chocolate note. An excellent example of the value that Sonoma Cabernet from a sub-AVA location within Sonoma can offer.
