Wedding Wine 10: SIMI


The LAST wedding wine is the SIMI Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (2005). This wine defines everything I love in a California Cab. Bold and fruit-forward, but also elegant.

The details from the wine maker:

Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot

Appearance: Dark red with a ruby cast

Aroma: Blackberry, cassis, and plum laced with cedar, spice and rose petals

Flavor: Lush black cherry and black berry are highlighted with vanilla and a dusting of cocoa and herbs
