Description:
This is a Cab-lover’s Cab. A bold spicy wine with a nice black cherry aroma. To add to the complexity, this wine is aged for 20 months in both American and French oak barrels giving it a hearty flavor with just the right balance of fruit acid and tannins that you will enjoy it alone or even more with a nice juicy steak. This wine presents a finish that makes you want to take another sip to make sure it will be the same next time.

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.
