$25.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2000 growing season produced another Estate Cabernet Sauvignon wine having classic structure and intense varietal character. This one though is supple and elegant. The wine has a very dark garnet color yet a youthfull vibrance that keeps on coming. Aromas of cassis and cherry-berry fruit predominate with well integrated sweet oak notes. A velvety smooth finish gives this wine the appeal of a sumptuous kiss rather than a tannic bite. Enjoy now without regrets!

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.
