The 2015 'Cuvée Alexandre' Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolutely sensational wine from Lapostolle and winemaker Andrea León. Made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah, and 4% Cabernet Franc this begins with inviting aromatics of ripe dark cherries and currants woven together with spices, tobacco, minerals and hints of lightly toasted oak all coming together. On the palate this is full-bodied and well-balanced with excellent depth, while beautifully polished tannins make for a gorgeous texture as it leads up to the supple finish. Overall, this is an excellent wine which is drinking remarkably well right now. Incredible value.
