Tasting Notes:
This Kirkland Signature Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is deep dark and opaque with purple-black
shades. The aromatics of black cherry, black currant and layers of vanilla from American Oak present
toasted spice notes of black pepper and cinnamon on the nose and palate. The black cherry and blackberry
notes are lifted by medium-plus acidity, and rounded out by fully ripe fruit tannins and moderate-plus
alcolhol. Malbec and Petit Verdot add grip to the long finish of sweet kirsh. Drink Now Through 2013.
