First Born Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

First Born is a small family label from Sonoma's Alexander Valley. The founders dedicated it to their first-born children, Anthony, Jules and Charlie.

The wine is a limited release from the alluvial soils of Alexander Valley, a warm inland valley in northern Sonoma County known for soft, ripe Cabernet. The 2022 is listed at 14.0% alcohol.

The brand describes dark purple color; licorice, black pepper, mocha and leather on the nose; then dark fruit, cherry, dark chocolate and spice, with soft, silky tannins.

For a small-producer Sonoma Cab, buy this. For a widely known Alexander Valley name, Silver Oak is the benchmark at a much higher price.

Serve it just below room temperature with grilled meats or hearty pasta.

More bottles from the county are on our Sonoma County wine page, and every Cabernet Sauvignon is listed together. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
