Wine Details
Price:
$24.00 per bottle
Description:
This fine wine originated at the Shultz Family Vineyards, where premium grapes are cultivated in three blocks named after the Shultz children: Matthew, Morgan, and Mikayla. Nestled in the Sierra Foothills, the long, warm days and cool nights are ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Time-honored practices are combined with the latest research to grow some of California’s most beautiful vines. Carefully managed by hand, the vine canopy grows luscious little berries that are harvested at the peak of ripeness to yield focused, intense flavor. The fruit is then crafted into premium wines at Stonehouse Vineyards & Winery.

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.
