Description:
The sweet aroma of cassis unfolds slowly & gracefully as the wine starts to open up with time. Overall a very sophisticated wine with hints of blueberries & fine integrated oak. The mouth-feel is lush with soft velvety tannins, understated toasty oak & dark chocolate. All underlined by ripe blackberry fruit that lingers on. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a fabulous accompaniment to food.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
