Description:
The blend is 100% Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. The first impression of our 2002 Estate Cabernet provides a wonderful lushness on the pallet with a perfect balance of fruit and acid. The well-integrated tannins are soft at present, but will provide years of age-ability for the wine. The flavor profile includes: Dark Cherry Liqueur, Blueberry Cobbler, Cassis and an ever so light touch of bakers cocoa.

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.
