Description:
Sometimes saying Cabernet Sauvignon just isn’t enough when it’s this good! Texas Hills Vineyard’s commitment to excellent Cabernet continues with this Kick Butt Cab, grapes from 22-year old vines from Newsom vineyard. When you swirl the glass and put your nose toward the wine you immediately “Get your guns up” with the taste of blackberry jam, then you “Gig’em” with the spiciness from the American oak. Then you are “Hook’em” with the rich and supple depth and long finish of the wine with its subtle tannins and rich color & body and “Sic’Em” to the check-out counter to take some home.

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.
