Zegacy Alexander Valley 2017

This Alexander Valley red presents a deep garnet hue, hinting at its concentrated profile. The nose is a symphony of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and a hint of graphite, underscored by subtle cedar and vanilla from well-judged oak integration. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides lift and precision. The mid-palate is layered with dark chocolate and plum, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This wine exemplifies the elegance and power of Alexander Valley, offering both immediate appeal and potential for graceful aging.
