Cartello Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$45.00
Nestled in a nook of vineyards flanked by forest. Mila Family produces wines utterly ‘California’, but with respect to the Old Country. Guided by a team of winemakers from a wide variety of backgrounds, Mila has forged a Cabernet here of stunning power and, yet, plenty of elegance to make fans of great Cabernet sit up and take notice. Bathed in warm sun throughout the late morning and early afternoon, ripening of fruit is hardly a problem in these vineyards. Yet, consistent with the magic of Sonoma, cool mornings and evenings bring fogs that bathe the vines and ensure plenty of racy acidity in the wine. Aging occurs in new French oak, keeping the voice of the fruit from becoming too muted.
