SIMI Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

By Gisel Habibnejad This fall, sip and relax your way through the season with SIMI Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The delectable flavors are taken from two separate vineyards located in Sonoma, California. Hints of cinnamon, cedar, clove, and toasty oak combine to make the perfect fall feasts rise to the occasion. Blackberry, plum, cassis, and black pepper give it the extra pop it needs to leave a lasting impression. In order to generate its impeccable composition, the wine undergoes a lengthy process measured to perfection. The wine is fermented with grape skins for 31 days to ensure the best quality. Additionally, the wine yields a second process over a 20-month period through malolactic fermentation, which guarantees a softer taste as opposed to a tart flavor. Pairs perfectly with: roasted mushroom and wild nettle pesto pizza; or charcoal-grilled beef carpaccio with asiago-onion salad.
