D'Agostini Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

13.8%, Armagan Ozdiker, proprietor, Heladsburg, CA.
Established 1856 (but not established in Sonoma. . .)

Overpowering nose of fruit and alcohol. A little mint and savory element. Heady fruit. Very strong with no subtle balance. Just tannins and sweet, deep fruit. Not what one would expect from an aged Alexander Valley Cab. Oxidized perhaps. Not too good. (Meaning kinda bad).
