Landslide Vineyard

2009 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Simi Landslide Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Alexander Valley is a delightful expression of its terroir. This full-bodied red captivates with its rich and intense profile, showcasing layers of dark fruit flavors, particularly ripe blackberry and plum, complemented by a hint of dark chocolate. The wine demonstrates a well-structured presence with robust tannins that speak to its depth and aging potential. Its balanced acidity adds a refreshing lift, enhancing the wine's overall liveliness. You can appreciate its medium dryness, making this Cabernet Sauvignon not only elegant but also food-friendly, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled lamb or a rich mushroom risotto. The vintage of 2009 has matured beautifully, offering a complex character that invites exploration.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
