Vineyard: Hanna;s 2015 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on our Red Ranch in Alexander Valley. Below Hoot Owl Creek this benchland ranch is planted on Clough Series gravelly loam soil. Above Hoot Owl it planted on Laughlin Series Sandy Loam. These are soils of two foot depth or less. The vineyard is planted to 45 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 acres of Malbec and five acres of Merlot. The Cabernet is planted to clones 7, 2 and 6. Merlot is planted to clone 3. Vine age in our 2015 vintage ranges from five to 25 years.
Tasting Notes: Our 2015 Alexander Valley Cabernet is purple hued and redolent of red fruits including Bing cherry, pomegranate molasses along with notes of vanilla, allspice, cinnamon and a hint of savory olive. This vintage is juicy and polished, and even in its youth it is remarkably silken and poised. (Tasted 8/25/17)
