Alpha Omega 2021 "Drew Block - Stricker Vineyard" Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

The Wine Independent 96

Review Date: 10/2023

The 2021 Stricker Vineyard Drew Block Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. Broody notes of damp soil, charcoal, and graphite give way to a vibrant core of blackcurrant jelly, warm blackberries, and kirsch plus nuances of crushed rocks and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate has a rugged structure of firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a minty lift. (LPB)
