Simi 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
Simi Vineyards has enjoyed a rich history in California wine making. One of the first wineries to rebound after prohibition and since then has lead the charge in making classic Alexander Valley Cabs among other prime selections. The first American client of famous French Enologist Michel Rolland, current winemaker Steve Reeder has won consistent accolades throughout the industry including making a Wine Spectator #1 Wine of the Year when he worked at Chateau St. Jean. Simi owns 600 acres of estate vineyards in Alexander Valley including the Landslide vineyard, and so Reeder has access to the best fruit in the region. This 2009 shows that very well with intense black cherry, blackberry flavors balanced by supple tannins and toasty, spicy notes that linger on the finish. A classy wine that’s a stalwart of Sonoma County, showing real pedigree and at a great price.

    As a Nouveau Vino Connoisseur, I was pleasently surprised by the body and texture of the Simi 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. I tried this at a wine tasting and was tempted to ask for seconds. What's great about the wine is the smell of the wine. It reminded me of my grandfather's vineyard in Calabria. It prompted me to purchase a case and coordinate a family reunion, one we haven't had in 15 years.
    We enjoyed the wine with an al dente pasta mixed with sausage and red peppers.
    It was a great night with great people filled with a great wine.
    I have recommended this wine to all my friends and plan to have another case for the upcoming holiday season!

    A good wine and a winery that I like. Very good for the value / cost. I like to keep a lot of this in the house for a weekday wine, weekend wine, or if I am having very good wine with dinner as an extra bottle for later.

          A very nice cab, and at this price is very affordable, too. It comes across better than some of the more expensive cabs we've tried. Typically buy it by the case.

                This wine has a terrific nose consisting of black cherry,hints of oak and spice. The taste is exactly what you would expect smooth and well balanced. This wine is drinking well right now or you can hold for a few years but at under $20 a bottle when you order a case you might as well make it an everyday entertaining wine.

                    This is an outstanding value for a classic California Cab. Very dark fruit, some hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Very well balanced. This is a great holiday buy!

                            This dark wine tastes and smells like black cherry and cinnamon. It gives off a burnt oak aroma from being stored in american oak. Very balanced and tastes great with a nice lamb chop! I highly recommend.
