Winemaker Notes
Crimson red in color with hints of purple. Aromas of blackberry, red jubes and plums with subtle notes of blackcurrant, mocha and violets. The palate is elegantly structured with a silky texture and fruit sweetness on the midpalate with layers of red cherry, spice and subtle briar flavors, finishing with soft grainy tannins.
Delicious accompanying beef, aged Cheddar or a mushroom and spinach lasagna.

Lightweight, affordable bottling offers an open and appealing nose of plums, cherries and raspberries, strung with beads of savory spices—bay leaf, ground white pepper and a damp tree bark and vanillin quality from the oak influence. The palate is on the woody, astringent side, but nevertheless offers a grip of sappy, spicy tannins and juicy fruit. Best Buy

Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
