Wine Details
Price:
$65.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine's beautiful, dark ruby color only hints at its intensity on the palate. Intriguing, almost exotic black cherry and milk chocolate play against toasty, cedary aromas and a faint note of fresh bay. Though tight and reserved in youth, this wine should develop juicy, ripe flavors of cherries, vanilla and dusty cocoa. Our vineyard's pedigree is evident in a firm tannin structure which dictates some additional time in the bottle for optimum pleasure.

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.
