The Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 brims with elegant red fruits and delicate spices. A deep red-purple in the glass, this red wine shows fresh red fruits, plums, and cherries on the nose. Accents of sweet spice add interest. The palate is vibrantly flavored, with intense dark fruits and a nice balance. Ample tannins integrate with a round mid palate and lead to a persistent finish.

This red wine would pair nicely with a seared New York strip steak or other grilled red meats.
