This wine was made by Matt Praetzel.
This is another wine from our alchemist, Matt, down in California, but this time with the GOAT Californian grape varietal.
We could just call it a “California Cabernet Sauvignon” and keep it simple, but naming specific areas is a big, albeit obnoxious, thing in wine. The thinking goes that if you’re being that specific, you’re signaling to people that you think you made something special from a special part of the world. We definitely think this has earned the right to obnoxiousness.
To that end: Alexander Valley is in Sonoma, and makes powerful wines which you should probably drink with food. This one really tastes like blueberry pie, but we recommend having it with hearty stuff in circumstances where some liquid patience might be desired.
