2008 Clos du Bois Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Taste: 4/5
Value: 4/5
Price: $22 (on sale for $15)


Having thoroughly enjoyed Sebastiani's Alexander Valley Cab, I thought I'd give another label a try.  While not as good and Sebastiani's (which reminded me of Mt Veeder Cab), Clos du Bois was very enjoyable.  Rich and sumptuous dark fruit and cocoa with long, well-balanced finish.  Would definitely have benefited from aerating.  Winemaker Gary Sitton.
