Description:
Lush and elegant, with silky fruit and aromas. This wine is full and intense, yet balanced in the nose and mouth with soft round bright fruit with subtle oak spice and toast. Complex and sophisticated with rich layers of polished black cherry, blackberry, cassis and a hint of dark chocolate. It is focused with supple tannins and viscosity that lead to a long lingering finish full of fruit.

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.
