Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: With large re-plantings throughout Sonoma County over the past 10 years, we're reaping the benefits of the new clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are producing darker wines that have concentrated fruit flavors with smooth ripe tannins. In addition, we are now sourcing new plantings of Cabernet Franc with improved trellis systems, which tame the natural vigor of the varietal, producing higher quality grapes. Aromas of black current, blackberry, licorice and black pepper are highlighted by spicy oak nuances. The flavors echo the nose and are delivered in a medium-bodied mouthfeel that has supple texture and shows a great spicy character on the finish.
