St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon

St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $45.00 per bottle

Description: It's said that 95% of wine in this country is consumed within four hours of purchase. People without the means or desire to age their wine should rejoice - the 2000 Varozza Cabernet Sauvignon is one California Cab that shows its worth while young. With hints of vanilla and round, lush fruit on the nose, this Cab says "Drink me now." Those fruits pay off with flavors of baked jam and a hint of herbs. Blueberry and black cherry dominate, but cocoa finds a place at the table, as well. The finish is long, but pleasant, showcasing its softer side. Not all California Cab needs ten years of bottle aging to come into its own. With its subtle oaking and supple tannins this 2000 Varozza Family Cab is an excellent example; while a few more years might not hurt it, why wait? Drink now and enjoy!
