WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Alexander Valley was shaped by dramatic geologic activity-from an ancient landslide that changed the course of the Russian River, to earthquake upheavals that redistributed whole sections of land. The incredible diversity of soil types and microclimates produces wines with velvety textures and bright, luscious flavors. Simi Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the best of Alexander Valley, with the bright fruit character and elegance that made this world-class growing region famous.
THE WINE
Appearance: Dark red with a ruby cast.
Aroma: Blackberry, cassis, and plum laced with cedar, spice and rose petals.
