More About 2021 Bonneau Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon A third-generation family legacy, Bonneau Winery traces its roots to the early 1920s when Catherine and Auguste Bonneau emigrated from the Bordeaux region to establish a 70-acre farm near Sonoma. After decades of supplying grapes to renowned wineries in Sonoma and Napa, the family unveiled their namesake label in 2002. Crafted from vineyards nestled in the northwestern foothills of Alexander Valley, where pronounced diurnal shifts create ideal growing conditions, Bonneau's Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes. The 2021 vintage, meticulously aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak, is a limited release of just 200 cases. This extraordinary wine offers a captivating interplay of concentrated dark fruits, supple tannins, and remarkable complexity, all at an astonishingly accessible price point. WinemakerNotes: Vivid, dark ruby red color. The nose is intense and complex, hints of oak, vanilla & mocha with dense black & blueberry fruit. It is an elegant, full body wine that has a soft, balanced texture with just the right amount of grip. Focused & polished, it is a premier example of an Alexander Valley, Bordeaux style wine. This wine finishes long & smooth with an intense showing of fruit & spice.
