From the winemaker – “This Cabernet Sauvignon has rich varietal character and body. The wine’s firm structure, generous tannins, and depth of color complement classic aromas and flavors of ripe black currant, cassis, dusty cocoa and saddle leather. Fruit for our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our estate vineyards in Sonoma and Russian River valleys, as well as from growers in Sonoma County’s other top appellations, including Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley and Rockpile. Each carefully selected vineyard contributes distinctive and individual qualities to the finished wine.”
This wine goes well with dishes like Point Reyes Blue Cheese Crostini or cheeses like Gruyere or Goat.
