$16.99 per bottle
Description:
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon has dark, rich aromas of cherries and cassis with rich vanilla undertones. This is a VERY big wine in the mouth, with moderate tannins and good alcohol. The mouth feel has great depth of flavors and a wonderfully concentrated chocolate and cinnamon finish. This Cabernet could be one of the most well-received and highly rated wines I’ve ever made. Time will tell!

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.
