NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alpha Omega Proprietary Red is a big, bold, and complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.On the nose, the wine presents aromas of dark cherries, plums, and cassis, with a hint of toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with flavors of blackberry, ripe plum, cassis, and a touch of baking spice. The plush, velvety. tannins are well-integrated, creating a velvety texture and a long, pleasing finish. This demands bold meats that are slow-cooked. Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years.
