Folie à Deux Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

Folie à Deux Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, expressive, and richly layered red wine from the prestigious Alexander Valley in Sonoma County, California. Named after the French term for “a shared passion” (literally a madness shared by two), this wine embodies a seductive harmony of intense dark fruit and well-integrated oak. It captures the essence of Alexander Valley’s warm days and cool nights, resulting in a Cabernet that is robust yet remarkably smooth and approachable.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, intense garnet red with vibrant purple rims.

• Aroma (Nose): Highly inviting and complex. It opens with powerful aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and cassis, beautifully complemented by notes of toasted oak, vanilla, fresh espresso, and a subtle hint of dried herbs and dark chocolate.

• Taste (Palate): Full-bodied and structured yet incredibly velvety. The palate mirrors the nose with rich flavors of black cherry, wild berries, and a touch of sweet baking spices. It features firm, well-rounded tannins and a balanced acidity that provides excellent structure, leading to a long, lingering, and polished finish.
