Description:
Confused? Don't be! This is a true white wine made from a red Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Because there is no skin contact, the wine is sweeter and fruitier than a red Cabernet Sauvignon. You'll find this a unique, elegant and tasty favorite to serve with many dishes or to enjoy alone. Flavors of ripe peach, apricot, pear and a hint of grapefruit make this is our most requested white wine by far!

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.
