Winemaker Notes
Juicy aromas of dark fruit, mocha and spice meet with hints of vanilla. On the palate, black cherry, red raspberry and plum are followed by a long, smooth finish.
Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon’s ripe fruit and clean acidity make it a versatile food partner. Enjoy a glass on its own or with your favorite foods like grilled burgers, pizza and rotisserie chicken.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% mixed red varietals, 4% Petite Sirah

COMMENTARY: The 2017 Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon is a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is fresh and bright with aromas and flavors red and black fruits. Enjoy it with crispy, fried chicken with a zesty, slightly spicy sauce. (Tasted: June 1, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Lodi is justifiably lauded for its old vine Zinfandels, but it is a production powerhouse when it comes to Cabernet Sauvignon. Lodi and its surrounding area (San Joaquin County) rank third in the state in acres planted to Cab, behind Napa and Paso Robles/San Luis Obispo County. But in total tons crushed Lodi is number one by a wide margin, surpassing Napa and Paso combined. In other words, Lodi produces more Cabernet Sauvignon than anywhere else in the U.S. This more volume-driven approach to viticulture makes possible the value-oriented bottlings that so many wine drinkers reach for on an everyday basis. These offer the varietal’s classic profile of dark fruit, oak influence, subtle herbal and green pepper notes and solid structure. Try Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon from wineries like Cosentino, Ironstone, Lapis Luna and The Federalist.
