Wine Details
Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine is like a delightful guest you don't want to leave… and it doesn't… it lingers and grows for minutes after you have had a sip. The wine is immediately approachable a short time after opening. For a special experience, try decanting, but this is not necessary for a charming sensory experience. Dark, ruby colors suggest intense fruit flavors. On the nose, it exhibits spices and Turkish mocha coffee, as well as an herbal bouquet. The wine is approachable now; yet, will improve and age well for the next 6 to 9 years.

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.
