The profile of the 2012 Louis M. Martini Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is consistent with the profile of the 2013 I reviewed last spring—how did I manage to get the vintages out of order? No matter, these are wines with great aging potential, they can be squirreled away for a decade or more. Black currants, plums, cola, dried mint and aged leather—it’s satiny-smooth on the palate, with ample concentration and suave yet ripe tannins. A hedonistic Sonoma Cab with a modest price tag. 14.3% ABV | Sample
