Adobe Road 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
| Concentrated aromas of licorice and chocolate meld with tobacco, black cherry and blackberry flavors with hints of olive. This opulent and darkly hued wine is wrapped around toasted hazelnut and vanilla, which lingers on the palate to create a long and smooth finish with polished tannins. |
