Simi Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Alexander Valley was shaped by dramatic geologic activity from an ancient landslide that changed the course of the Russian River, to earthquake upheavals that redistributed whole sections of land. The incredible diversity of soil types and microclimates produces wines with velvety textures and bright, luscious flavors.
