Top Swanson Cabernet (or Alexis) ever at $46 for the Wine Enthusiast:
A classic balance between generous red and black fruits and firm tannins shows in this full-bodied wine as it unfolds black cherries, blackberries, oak char and black pepper. It's grippy in texture—perfect for a steak or lamb chop.
Also the top Swanson wine ever for Suckling:
Aromas of black cherries, cassis, spice box, walnut and graphite. Firm and lengthy with a full body and compact tannin structure. Dense and wide with a chocolaty finish. Better from 2025.
The winery says:
This beautiful wine opens with aromas of cassis, blackberry, & earthy plum on the nose, with a touch of cedar that elegantly underlies the rich dark fruits on the nose. The wine is rich & full bodied on the palate, the acidity is supple, supporting the layers of plum, dark cherry & dusty minerality.
The extra-long and very heavy bottle just underscores the pedigree and sheer quality of what’s inside it. This is serious stuff!
