Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

In the glass one sees dark garnet color with aromas of molasses, tart cherry, dried sage, savory dill, and black raspberry. The flavors are classic Cabernet with red currants, black cherry, Dutch Cocoa, pomegranite, herb de provence, and finishes with sweet blackberry and sandlewood. There is a lot going on in this glass. It just continues to open up with a little time and swirling in the glass. It goes from fruity to chocolaty to savory to oaky and then goes back to the beginning and finishes with gobs of fruit.

Professional Ratings

    Dried plums and herbs (sage and mountain brush) are userfriendly in this juicy, youthful red. Rich berry and blue flowers add an edge as well as aromatics to a toasty, brown sugared middle. Unique ladder of complexity for such a value-driven wine!

Covering the most vine acreage in the state compared to any other red wine variety, Cabernet Sauvignon produces as much wine in California as Merlot and Pinot Noir combined. The state’s diverse terrain and microclimates, as well as the freedom of its winemakers, allow for an incredible range of wine styles from this single grape.

California’s most famous region—and especially for Cabernet Sauvignon—is the acclaimed Napa Valley. While Cabernet is successful throughout the world, rarely has it achieved such merit as it does from the Napa Valley. At this point the two are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other.

Napa’s closest neighbor, Sonoma County, does an impressive job keeping up with Napa’s fame and glory. Alexander Valley, Sonoma Mountain, Moon Mountain and Knights Valley contribute to the lot of some of California’s top-rated Cabernet Sauvignon.

Lake County in California’s North Coast has become a focus for some of Napa’s more respected growers. From the Central Coast come iconic examples of classic California Cabernet; Lodi and the Sierra Foothills are great budget-friendly sources of amicable Cabernets.
