Nose
While showing signs of age, it has a lovely bouquet of caramel, molasses, leather and dried sage.
Palate
It retains some of the heft of its youth with its plush, broad mouthfeel and juiciness. As it transitions through the back of the palate, silky tannins are revealed and the wine finishes with moderate length framed by red fruit character. Decanting suggested. Enjoy now.
Appearance
Our 1986 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a light garnet color with bricking around the rim.
