Description:
The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, dark red in color, is a wine of elegance and strength. Powerful and rich aromas of spice, nutmeg, oak and truffles, crushed lavender and black cherries. Sounds crazy? Try it and see! Chewy on the palate with a solid core of deep Cabernet fruit. Crisp tannins and acidity with a long, flavorful finish. Great with steak or savor it with a fine cheese in place of dessert. Drink anytime between now and 2025.

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.
