Our Wines - Tasting Notes

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - "Alpha"

In the wolf family, the dominant male and female wield the prestige of “Alpha”. This superior distinction was given to our Cabernet Sauvignon by Grey Wolf’s only two winemakers, our “Alphas.”

The 2006 Alpha Cab is most definitely the leader of the pack. Aged over 28 months in barrel, this wine explodes out of the gate with the essence of mint and eucalyptus followed by a cherry filled mouth. Deep cocoa and vanillin mid palate extend through to a firm tannin finish. Great aging wine, but watch out, this dog may bite.
