Sonoma Reserve

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Clos Du Bois Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley is a captivating red wine that embodies the essence of its terroir. This wine showcases a full-bodied profile, offering rich and robust flavors that envelop the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterbalance to the generous fruit intensity, which is prominent and expresses delightful notes of blackcurrants and ripe cherries. The tannins are firm yet approachable, contributing to the wine's structure and aging potential without overwhelming the wine's silky mouthfeel. With its dry finish, this Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional choice for those who appreciate well-crafted, fruit-forward wines that capture the heart of California's wine country.

Region:


Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
