Louis M. Martini – Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2006
So you know from previous posts that I’m a big fan of the Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet. . .but tonight I tried the Alexander Valley Cabernet.
Apparently the Cabernets are ranked, starting with the Sonoma County then you take a step up pricewise and taste wise to the Napa Valley, then one step up is the Alexander Valley and the top of the line Cabernet from Louis M. Martini is the Sonoma Valley Monte Rosso Valley.
Well Matt (who will maybe blog one day), travels a lot for work and while he was in Austin stumbled upon a store that had the Alexander Valley for a great price! So he bought me one. . .and in exchange, instead of paying him back I bought him 3 Barefoot wines. Kroger had them on sale and he wanted some inexpensive 2nd bottles of wine.
I finally decided to open this bottle, cause he might be in Austin soon then I’ll know if I want another bottle. Matt found it for about $20 less than what most people sale it for. Don’t ask me how that is. . .
I like this wine; it has a good taste that is very enjoyable and very drinkable. I think it is very smooth but with just the right amount of kick. I’m thinking I might need Matt to pick me up another bottle. . .
