Description:
Aromas of sweet berries and spices on nose hint at what will be detected on the palate. Our 2001 Reserve Concannon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with ripe cassis, deep lychee, and plum flavors. This is a Cabernet that shows depth of color, strength of tannin, and immense flavors of dried black currant layered flavors of leather and oak spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon is like velvet in the mouth. Notes of blackberry jam, boysenberry, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, a touch of oak, and tame tannins combine to produce a wonderfully flavorful, soft, and approachable wine.

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.
