Nose

It has an extraordinarily fresh nose of candied apples, cassis, forest undergrowth and savory spices.

Palate

This Cabernet has a fresh attack, a surprising expression of bright fruit on the palate and a long, smooth finish. Enjoy now. May need decanting due to light sediment.

Appearance

The 1979 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a medium ruby color with brick-red edges.
