Price:
$50.00 per bottle
Description:
This is our first Cab Sauvignon non-blend. We've always blended this titanic verietal with others like Petit Verdot, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel, but now it's a solo act. And gues what? It still rocks! Smoothoak and subtle fruit will fill your pallet with a beautiful balance of both. It's full bodied but not over the top.
If it continues to get even better it may rank among our best wines ever. To Kaz fans that would mean that it's as amazing as the Mainliner (Lenoir), Red Said Fred, Rally and ZAM.

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.
