IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Folie a Deux's Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of black currant, cherry, dark plum and violets are balanced by notes of sage, fennel, olives, black tea, and tobacco—all layered over soft, fine-grained tannins.

This wine is quite rich and shows a nice mix of red currant, dried herbs, and sweet earth. Its juxtaposition of aromas and flavors makes it an excellent choice with braised meats. Lush and thickly concentrated, this crowd-friendly wine offers a brightness of cassis that complements its darker, richer tones of chocolate mocha and clove. Medium in build, it uses its oak well, integrating it into the whole.
