2017-C Herald Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, California (750ml)   

_{A Monthly Wine Club Selection}
A very solid value in Cabernet well under $30. Nick Goldschmidt seems to have a special knack for delivering very satisfying wines at prices that won't break the bank.

In 1998 Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt established the Goldschmidt Vineyard label, a program designed to showcase single vineyard sourced wines from both the Alexander Valley and Oakville appellations. The goal was to create wines that highlight the distinct characteristics, benefits and attributes derived from these site-specific harvests. Goldschmidt Vineyards Cabernets are crafted with the best possible resources to achieve exceptional richness, quality and balance—the hallmarks of world-class wines! Dark ruby in color with primary aromatics of blackberry, baking spices, petrichor and graphite. The palate is intense and generous, and exhibits wide-ranging yet subtle layers of complexity, from violets to blueberry preserves to blackberry cobbler, all accompanied by long and supple toasty oak finish.
