Hanna, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, 2009

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Smoky black fruits nose, a hint of raisins but not cooked. Fresh attack, much livelier than the nose suggests, with plenty of sweet fruit and ripe tannins. The acidity keeps it zesty and invigorating. The texture is sleek and the wine overall has considerable finesse. Good length

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine shows a great complexity with a very intense bouquet with notes of dark cherries and prune. The oak is very well integrated. A great example from Alexander Valley.

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Fresh rubber and juicy fruit in the nose. Succulent and fleshy. Modern, jammy. Sweet.
