Frei Brothers, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

($24):  This classic California Cabernet is easy to recommend and explains why that category remains so popular.  Herbal elements balance the fresh ripe fruit flavors.  Polished tannins and good acidity lend support without being intrusive.  It’s a lovely choice for grilled or sautéed beef. 88 Michael Apstein Mar 16, 2010
