Autumn's Blush

Autumn's Blush Wine Details
Price: $7.00 per bottle

Description: Our Autumn's Blush show off the true characters of a White Cabernet Sauvignon by coming alive with a cornucopia of fresh fruits - raspberries, strawberries, peaches and melons. While it may be fruity on the front palate, it has a subtle, off-dry finish. A great wine for picnics, bar-b-ques or just for sipping on it's own

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.
