J. Rickards 2008 Five Sisters Blend Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Five Sisters Blend
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: J. Rickards / Alexander Valley

This is a softly sophisticated Cabernet that will please fans of the variety who want a wine that’s a little earthier than your riper Napa Valley versions. It has herb and tobacco flavors, but there’s also a delicious sunburst of sweetly ripe cherries right in the middle that lasts through the finish. Should develop over the next 7–8 years.
