NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Alexander Valley Vineyards Homestead Red Blend is a well-structured and elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.The wine exudes aromas of ripe dark fruits, cassis, and blackberry. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied texture with a core of juicy red and blue fruits, and a hint of spice. The finish is long and smooth with a pleasing balance of oak and tannins.
