Description:
In the glass, our Cabernet Sauvignon is rich burgundy in color with tints of indigo. The aromas are of black cherry, briar, cassis and spicy cedar. In the mouth, the wine opens with bright berry fruit followed by a full, round mid-palate. The finish lingers with rich notes of chocolate and cherry. We try to introduce enough new oak to add to the complexity without overpowering the fruit. Tasting our older Cabernets has proven that our vineyard source consistently produces wines that live ten or more years with proper storage.

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.
