Simi Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Sonoma County, California
winemaker's notes:
Alexander Valley was shaped by dramatic geologic activity from an ancient landslide that changed the
course of the Russian River, to earthquake upheavals that redistributed whole sections of land. The
incredible diversity of soil types and microclimates produces wines with velvety textures and bright,
luscious flavors. Simi Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the best of Alexander Valley, with the
bright fruit character and elegance that made this world-class growing region famous.
