title: Lancaster 2012 Sophia's Hillside Cuvée Red (Alexander Valley)
description: Made from a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend also holds 4% of Malbec and 4% of Merlot, a hearty yet elegant showing of the appellation. Herbal sage and cedar combine with a waft of peppercorn and tobacco leaf to make for an inviting entry, before soft, approachable layers of black fruit enter the scene. The finish all about dark chocolate.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Sophia's Hillside Cuvée
