Description:
This cabernet is a beautiful dark garnet. The first sip fills the mouth with deep cherry, fresh herb, and a hint of toast form the barrels. This wine offers a rich mouth filling texture that is balanced with good acidity and round tannins. Flavors of concentrated black currant are coupled with a long lingering hazelnut and toffee finish. Serve with cabernet with lamb, beef or rich tomato pastas.

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.
