Description:
Endeavour embodies the best that Dry Creek Vineyard has to offer in Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of black cherries, currants and dried raspberries mingle with nuances of clove, bramble and peat. Explosive extracts of dark chocolate and juicy berries shine within a matrix of dusty and full-bodied tannins. The balanced structure of the wine, completed by its well-integrated oak, promises excellent potential for extended bottle aging.

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.
