Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve Alexander Valley 2016

Dark garnet towards royal purple in color, the nose displays notes of ripe blackberries, cherries, black currants, star anise and pipe tobacco. Full-bodied, with good concentration and a silky texture.

The palate shows layers of flavors, with notes of ripe black forest fruits, licorice, fennel, black pepper, cigar tobacco and roasted espresso beans, with medium-plus acidity and slightly chewy tannins coating the mouth, highlighting notes of baker’s chocolate on the long and elegant finish.
