The 1991 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a dark ruby color

This continues to impress with its excellent balance and concentration combined with remarkable overall power and finesse

the blend is 80% Merlot

Complexity is the key word here. Yet the combination of Springbank matured in Bourbon and Sherry casks remains perfectly balanced from first sip to the full, rich finish. Nose: Orchard fruit (pear) with a hint of peat, vanilla and malt. Palate: Malt, oak, spice, nutmeg and cinnamon, vanilla essence. Finish: Sweet with a lingering salty tingle. Distiller's Notes
