 |  | Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley Reserve 2006 |
Louis M. Martini's 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is terroir-driven with aromas and flavors of dried cherries, tobacco, leather and earth tones balanced with expressions of toasty vanilla oak. The layers and intensity of flavors evolve into a plush, lingering finish with velvety tannins and is a perfect complement to warm, earthy dishes, wild game and red meats. Lush and well-structured, the 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon belongs in everyone’s cellar and is meant to be enjoyed now or can be cellared for the next five years.

Untitled
"Offers a well-distributed mix of loamy currant, herb, sage and underbrush. Focused and complex, ending with dry tannins. Drink now through 2013. 5,750 cases made. –JL" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley reveals a more tannic, denser personality. It should merit 90 points with several more years of bottle age. It is a big, muscular, backward Cabernet boasting a dense ruby/purple color, and plenty of smoked herb, earth, and black fruit characteristics.
Now owned by the Gallo family, but still run by Michael Martini, the quality of these wines merits serious attention." -Rated 89, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Untitled
"It’s a little on the soft side, but stuffed with blackberry, cherry, currant and smoky oak flavors, with pleasant notes of dried herbs, anise and violets. Fine now. — S.H. (9/1/2009)" -Rated 87, Wine Enthusiast
