Tasting notes
The 2019 Red Blend Alessio is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Dark, smoky and intense, with a solid core of cassis and black cherries, it's full-bodied, round and silky. Despite the concentration, it's not overwhelming but instead exhibits a degree of elegance married to intense flavors.

The 2019 Alessio Proprietary Red checks in as one-third each of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the Sugarloaf and Sage Ridge vineyards. It has jammy red and black fruits, Asian spices, graphite, and chocolaty notes in forward, opulent, yet balanced and concentrated style that just begs to be drunk. It has great tannins, a good sense of freshness, and should evolve for 15+ years if stored properly.
The 2019 Alessio is a big wine, as these all are, but it has a bit more energy and vibrancy than most of the other cuvées. Red berry fruit, crushed flowers, spice, mocha, mint and blood orange all build as this heady, attention-grabbing Cabernet shows off its explosive, alluring personality.
