Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series - Cucamonga Valley - Hippard Ranch

Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series Reserve - Cucamonga Valley - Hippard Ranch Wine Details
Price: $18.95 per bottle

Description: The undisputed "King" of fine red wines is Cabernet Sauvignon. Only in Bordeaux France was it thought that one could grow "the finest" Cabernet. The aristocratic of all transplanted European varieties to California, the Cabernet Sauvignon, seems most at home in our Golden State. This flavorful and well-structured premium red can be found throughout the land, including right here in Rancho Cucamonga! Barrel-aged for 16 months in 1 year-old American and French white oak, 2002 was grown at the nearby Hippard-Ranch (Est 1882) in Etiwanda. 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of vanilla, cedar, and dark mature fruit welcomes you. Medium body with round, full, tannins and a pleasant, lingering finish. Blended with 11% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, both from Hippard Ranch. Enjoy with your favorite beef, pork or lamb entree. Pours well now, or cellar through 2008. 12.7" alc.
