Description:
This Cabernet is just delicious! It smells and tastes of black cherries and black raspberries, with notes of cocoa, vanilla and toasty oak. Since the fruit was harvested at full ripeness, the fruit-driven flavors linger on the palate without a hint of astringency, lending a voluptuous silky texture to the finish. This Cabernet offers instant gratification. Its harmony of tannins and acidity, along with its generous fruit, should allow the wine to develop nicely in the cellar for several years.

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.
