Winemaker's Notes:

 A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% other Bordeaux varietals.

The wine's deep, ruby red hue hints at an inky black--the first clue to its blockbuster intensity and exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon character. Vibrant aromas of blackberry and vanill mingle with notes of roasted coffee and toast on the nose. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, the flavors are bright and juicy, with well-integrated layers of blackberry, plum, mocha and clove spice. The wine's luscious mouthfeel and persistent finish marries fruit, oak and supple tannins in perfect balance.

Full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon stands up well to full-flavored dishes like burgers, steak, rib roasts and rich, meat-sauced pasta dishes.

About Clos du Bois Winery:

 When Clos du Bois was founded in 1974, Sonoma County was better known for its prunes, walnuts and dairy farms than for its wine grapes. With more soil types than France, Founder Frank Woods recognized the potential of Sonoma County as a world-class wine growing region, and it is here in Sonoma's Alexander Valley where Clos du Bois has been making outstanding wines for more than three decades. Woods' vision was to marry the best of California wines, which were rich, fruit forward and robust, with the best of French wines, which had an undeniable elegance. With a focus on sourcing the best quality grapes from Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and the surrounding North Coast, the resulting collection of wines highlight the best of Sonoma County in a style that is both elegant and approachable - the signature of Clos du Bois.
