From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found.

It checks off all the boxes, solid structure, a good display of oak seasoning, tasty, complex fruit, simply a terrific bottle of wine. The Folie à Deux Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a fine example of a Sonoma California Cab. You can be the first one to write a review. The acidity is balanced and gives the wine good balance. Sumptuous and complex, featuring fragrant dark cherry, blackberry, cassis and anise aromas, and rich, elegant, black fruit flavors. The tannins are silky, they provide solid structure but they don’t interfere with the flavor. The mid-palate shows a little dusty spice, along with tart cranberry, and breakfast tea. It tastes of rich, extracted blackberry, silky blueberry, milk chocolate, black pepper, and raspberry. This is a full-bodied Cab, very approachable, with a nice bit of complexity. Folie à Deux Cabernet Sauvignon Picked from the rolling vineyards of the Alexander Valley, this 100 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The nose is blackberry, molasses, black licorice, spearmint gum, plum, and spice. The color is a very dark (not see-thru) black cherry red. This is a wine that lists for $24 (a quick check of the web shows prices as low as $16, but most are closer to $20) and you can tell because the bottle weighs about twice as much as the typical value-priced bottle and the cork is a real cork, not some composite or faux cork.
