Cabernet Sauvignon Lake County

2006 Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon

Au Bon Jardin Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression hailing from the picturesque Red Hills of Lake County. This red wine showcases a full-bodied character complemented by pronounced acidity, providing a lively structure that underpins the wine's complexity. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruit notes such as blackcurrant and blackberry, alongside subtle hints of spice that add depth to the palate. The tannins are notably firm, creating a robust mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience. This Cabernet Sauvignon is dry, allowing the richness of the fruit to shine while maintaining elegant balance, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
