Description:
Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is created from the finest lots of each vintage from our Napa Valley vineyards, each with varied growing conditions, in American's finest wine region. Selected for their intensity of flavor and varietal concentration, the individual lots are kept separate and then blended before barrel aging. The goal is to craft a wine that symbolizes the integrity and quality of our winery.
Dark ruby in color with aromas of sweet toasty oak, elegant black plum and briar fruit layered with cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa and cedar. The flavors are well balanced, with toasty vanilla oak followed by a soft tannin finish, an elegance of structure that will cellar well. A perfect wine for roast beef dishes and savory cheeses.

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.
