Description:
Fruit for our new Convivio Cabernet comes from a celebrated 33 year old block called Old Hoot Owl Vineyard and one of our new estate blocks planted to recently acquired French clones. This marriage of fruit from fully mature and exciting new vines gave us the ability to produce a wine of both substance and value. Here is a deliciously full-fruited Field Stone Cabernet priced for everyday enjoyment and where, in the price, you also have an opportunity to give back something to our farmworking families. Enjoy. Give thanks. Convivio!

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.
