Tasting Notes

The 2023 Lancaster Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of the Alexander Valley, offering a sophisticated aromatic profile led by concentrated cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, with nuanced hints of blueberry and boysenberry. Meticulous oak aging integrates seamless layers of cocoa, espresso, and vanilla, rounded out by delicate baking spices. On the palate, this wine is impressively full-bodied and balanced, anchored by a deep core of dark fruit. Sophisticated flavors of dark chocolate, mocha, and plum are elevated by elegant touches of raspberry and violet, culminating in a structured, persistent finish that reflects its pedigree.
