Macwaller Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Located just north of Napa Valley lies the Alexander Valley, a fascinating appellation that possesses one of the more unique microclimates in California’s wine industry. It is one of Sonoma County’s hottest appellations, but also has the Russian River running through it, creating cooler pockets that help create an overall balanced ecosystem, and a baseline of volcanic, alluvial soils that are absolutely ideal for growing superlative fruit.

Graphite-laced black cherries, wild blackberries, dried red berries, spiced cedar, purple flowers, roasted herbs, and a hint of oak are on full display, exhibiting exceptional balance, depth, and nuance from start to finish. Seductive on the senses with fabulous structure, this is an old-world style Cabernet that showcases its roots beautifully, while also channeling a modern edge that is soft, supple, and downright delicious.
