Price:
$45.00 per bottle
Description:
Sweet cassis and perfume hit you straight away and never leave you all the way to the finish. Deep color and thick textures get your attention quickly and then the pure black fruits grab you with lush currants, black cherry, blackberry, and plum flavors that are both rich and focused with seamless layering. This wine has power and firm tannins that are well mannered, but noticeable and in your face at this time. The level of acidity keeps everything lively and this wine sings and dances like a showgirl, but should get really classy and refined with time, becoming a true diva!

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.
