NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Aleksander Red is a bright, juicy, fruit-driven blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, red currants, and blackberries dominate. On the palate, intense flavors of raspberry, blackberry, and dark plum mix with notes of baking spices and subtle oak. The finish is long and lush, with a lingering hint of dark fruit and spice. Aleksander Red is a great pairing with grilled meats and hearty stews.

ORIGINS

Winery: Aleksander

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
