I ate dinner at Vincent’s in Escondido recently, and ordered a bottle of Alexander Valley Cabernet ’06. It was an ok wine. It was dry and had a oaky and peppery smell. It was a pinkish purple color. It was tasty and drinkable, but scored low scores. Around the table it was given a 6, a 6.5 and a 7. I would order it again, but it would not be at the top of my list.
The bottle retails for $12.99 at bevmo.
Others’ Thoughts:
90 PTS WILFRED WONG. Unusually fragrant and quite fine, the well-balanced ’06 Alexander Valley Vyds serves up pretty, red fruit flavors; firm and lasting on the palate; smooth in the finish.
