Nose

It has a complex nose of coffee, hazelnut, dried fruit and bay leaves.

Palate

This medium bodied Cabernet has an excellent attack, a lively mid-palate and a long finish of coffee, dried black plum and dried cherries. Enjoy now. May need decanting due to light sediment.

Appearance

The 1978 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a brick-red color with brown edges.
