This wine’s deep, vibrant, purple-black color is typical of Geyser Peak Winery Cabernet.  At first approach, classic Alexander Valley aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit dominate; as the wine opens, hints of mocha add complexity to the nose.  The lively intensity of this wine’s fruit aromas and flavors, as well as the restrained, cedary oak characters, which support the fruit without dominating it, are a hallmark of the winery’s style.  A juicy, round and generous palate harmonizes blackberry and black cherry fruit with toasty oak and a hint of spice.
