There is a wildness about this wine that instantly says Alexander Valley to me. The crushed blackberry and blackcurrant notes speak to a wine that is filled with dark fruit, while the menthol and cedar tones are indicative of the slightly cooler climate from which this wine hails. The chewy tannin are ripe and balanced, meaning this wine is already approachable. Still, I would recommend stocking up with a few extra bottles for the cellar.
