Alexander Valley is a premier world-class Cabernet growing region. Mantra has won numerous gold medals and high point score reviews over 90 for this undeniably masterful blend. Noted critics such as Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate called it "Sexy and Hedonistic". To make this stellar wine, various blocks of our vineyards are harvested and fermented in small lots during various times throughout the year to capture each block at optimum ripeness. This solid wine shows a complex mixture of aromas and flavors driven by blackberry currant and black cherry integrated with subtle hints of toasted oak and mocha overtones. It is big, bold amd delicious!
