Folie A Deux Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2017

Winemakine Notes:
This Cabernet Sauvignon underwent a maceration period of 10 to 16 days,
which fostered the rich color, medium body, balanced mouthfeel and excellent
aging potential of the wine. Following a moderate fermentation temperature of
75°F, the wine was aged for 22 months in a combination of French, American
and Hungarian oak barrels, 27% of which was new, giving it a plush mouthfeel
and complex layers of flavor.

Tasting Notes:
The 2016 Folie à Deux Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a pure
expression of its region. Concentrated aromas of juicy blackberry, cassis, and
Earl Grey tea sit atop spicy oak notes. Rich, round and robust in structure, this
wine showcases ripe, concentrated flavors of strawberry jam, molasses and
anise notes complemented by chocolate, cherry tobacco and a hint of vanilla
on the balanced finish. Pair the 2016 Folie à Deux Alexander Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon with herb-crusted lamb or a juicy, seasoned burger topped with goat
cheese and carmelized onions.
