Description:
GOLD MEDAL WINNER Has a very ripe bouquet of cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, currant, and chocolate. Everything repeats as medium broad, mouth filling flavors with good acidity joined by a significant amount of fine tannins. The finish is broad and long which adds a hint of spice, and the wine is well balanced, structured, and integrated. Nicely fruity, good richness and body and will even get better and better with age.

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.
