This is layered and intense with aromas and flavors of chocolate, bark and tea bags. Full body, round and soft tannins, and a delicious finish. Drink now. Why wait.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County has lovely red and black currant fruit with underlying notions of dried herbs, dusty earth and sandalwood. Medium to full-bodied and solidly structured, it has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and earthy.

While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
