Description:
The 2003 is more classic Cabernet than the '02. Distinct flavors of plum, cherry, cedar, tobacco and vanilla. Exceptionally lovely softer cab. Caris made this image at Connemara Nature Preserve, north of Dallas, while shooting footage for the TV show 'Wishbone'. You don't see this view of a team too often anymore. Caris feels CabSav can be a powerful and beautiful wine, and this image suited it.

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.
