Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Our benchmark wine just got three stars from The Press Democrat which calls it "a juicy Cab with a round texture." Aromas of black cherries, cassis, plum & cedar dominate the nose, along with a hint of anise. The fruit from each Wetzel Estate Vineyard was vinified and treated differently. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes for this blend were picked at the peak of ripeness and have excellent natural acidity. Medium to full-bodied, this Cabernet displays abundant cherry and currant fruit on the palate and a velvety mouth feel. Supple and polished throughout, it finishes with firm tannins. As with previous vintages, this wine is drinkable now yet will age for 10-15 years.
