Very dark garnet color. This is the equal blend of both our Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyards. The Eucalyptus is the main aroma of this wine. There are also some Blackcurrant and cedar aromas in the background. This is a very big wine with huge tannins and a very good structure. You can keep this wine in your cellar for as long as you like ... it will age nicely.

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.
