2005 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon “Deep, ruby color. The nose reveals classic Alexander Valley Cabernet characteristics of dense cherry with some Old World notes of earth, spice, cedar, and moderate alcohol. The palate continues in this vein revealing a stylish Cabernet with many layers of depth. Blackberry and cassis flavors are flanked by accents of earth, allspice, vanilla, cocoa, and oak. A very stylish wine with great complex flavors, ideal balance and above all, charm.” BevX.com Dec 2009

2003 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Arbios Cellars focuses on a single Bordeaux-style red wine, made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on a mountain top vineyard in the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County. The Arbios Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted in classic Bordeaux-style to have moderate alcohol and good fruit character. Winemaker and owner Bill Arbios likes to be “honest” with the fruit avoiding overripe characteristics. Although Bill has a successful track record crafting blended wines, he now prefers the additional challenges and artistry that go into making wine from a single vineyard. Placing the emphasis on terroir, Bill believes in honoring the character of the fruit without over-manipulating the wine. $50.00 for 750ml Bottle (other sizes available)
