The nose is gorgeous, leading with floral aromas, cassis and raspberry puree over chocolate, fading to coffee and a hint of pine resin in the background. On the palate, the wine delivers a fantastic purity of fruit across a plush mouth feel which is cut by incredible natural acidity.

The nose is gorgeous, leading with floral aromas, cassis and raspberry puree over chocolate, fading to coffee and a hint of pine resin in the background. A wine by famed quarterback Drew Bledoe. The label's name references Bledsoe doubling back" to Walla Walla after his NFL career. Hand Numbered Bottles.

The 2008 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark, rich full-bodied wine with great tannic structure and mouth-feel. It has a garnet color and a nose of ripe boysenberries, cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, sandalwood and a hint of roasting meat. On the palate, it is mouth-coating and incredibly rich in umami. It has a very long, savory finish with the slight grip of fine-grained tannins. Given proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2030.

Medium violet core with a ruby rim. This 100% cabernet is reflective of the cooler climate 2008 vintage, with its delicate style and tamed 13.9% alcohol. This is definitely a Napa cab for those who appreciate a bit more finesse. The nose exudes love... Justin Wong.
