Description:
Our full-bodied Sonoma Coast Cab has the elegant flavors of black currant, cassis, black cherry, and black pepper. There are complex aromas of tobacco leaf and vanilla. Great intensity and depth of flavors in this wine. Food Pairing: Great steaks, grilled lamb chops, hard cheeses – cheddar, pecorino, parmigiano reggiano; even a 60–77+% dark chocolate bar loves a glass of Cabernet now and then.

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.
