Johnson Family, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2023

Alexander Valley is one of Sonoma's classic homes for Cabernet, and this is a friendly, no-fuss bottle that delivers the goods. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards, it's built for easy enjoyment rather than cellar contemplation. Expect ripe blackberry and cassis, a touch of vanilla and cedar, and supple tannins that make it ready to drink right out of the gate. A solid weeknight Cab that punches above its station.
