The more backward 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley (which comes from Barelli Creek) exhibits a more earthy, leathery style with black cherry and cassis fruit, plenty of underbrush notes, and a hint of sage, all offered in a well-made, elegant style. Now owned by the Gallo family, but still run by Michael Martini, the quality of these wines merits serious attention.Tel. (800) 321-WINE
