Description:
The 2003 Cabernet was released in November of 2005. Our second Cabernet Sauvignon shows a brilliant, purple-black color in the glass and exhibits aromas of cherry, cedar and herbs. Ripe, integrated tannins and bright acidity frame the palate of this complex wine, defined by high-toned plum and black cherry, cassis liqueur, and subtle earthiness through its long finish.

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.
