$16.95 per bottle
Description:
Our Cabernet Sauvignon has been produced using selected California grapes which were meticulously inspected by our wine maker during the growing season and just before crushing. The result is a full body, beautifully structured wine that has retained an overwhelming aroma of black cherries even after 14 months of aging in French oak barrels. An outstanding complement to all red meat dishes, pork, rack of lamb and roast duck. Serve at room temperature.

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.
