Architect Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, Alexander Valley

Crafted in the famed Alexander Valley AVA of Sonoma County, the Architect Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 delivers the classic structure, rich depth, and vibrant fruit expression that California red wine enthusiasts crave. Created as a tribute by Bartholomew Broadbent to his father, legendary wine author and taster Michael Broadbent, this exceptional vintage showcases a masterfully balanced blend dominated by 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and rounded out with Petite Sirah, Malbec, and Merlot.

​The wine opens with an inviting bouquet of bright black cherry, cassis, and ripe plum complemented by subtle nuances of vanilla, dark cocoa, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is supple, full-bodied, and generous, offering layers of dark berry fruit, sweet tobacco, and black pepper held together by silky tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is smooth and remarkably broad, leaving lingering impressions of cocoa powder and gentle barrel spice.

​Thanks to its balanced power and refined tannic structure, this versatile Alexander Valley Cabernet pairs exceptionally well with prime ribeye steaks, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, or aged cheddar and dark chocolate desserts. At 14.5% ABV, it holds top accolades including 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast. Whether you are building out your personal cellar or searching for a crowd-pleasing red wine for your next dinner party, Architect offers Napa-level sophistication at an accessible price point.
