2004 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

2004 Cab
 

WINE NOTES

This Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, released by GiaDomella under the guidance of winemaker Nick Goldschmidt, comes from an estate vineyard owned by the E. Passalacqua family. The land where this historic vineyard is situated has been in our family for nearly a century and has been owned in succession by our great-grandparents, grandparents and parents. Grape growing and winemaking have always been a piece of our family heritage. GiaDomella is a tribute to this heritage and is named after Gianna, Dominic, and Marcella Passalacqua, the 5th generation of our winemaking family. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced directly from our 50 acre estate vineyard, with the multiple soil types and microclimates lending themselves to this gloriously complex and seamless wine. Rich in berry flavors, this young wine can be enjoyed now and with its classic fruit forwardness, is destined to shine for years to come. This compelling wine is powerful on the palate and finishes in rich fashion.
