Cornerstone

California Cabernet Sauvignon

This full-bodied red showcases an impressive array of dark fruit flavors, with blackcurrant and plum standing out prominently. The acidity is balanced and lively, creating a mouthwatering experience with each sip. The tannins are well-structured and powerful, providing a firm yet elegant backbone to the wine. Layers of oak, tobacco, and subtle hints of vanilla add depth and complexity, making it a highly enjoyable choice for those who appreciate a bold and intensely flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine’s exceptional quality is further underscored by its numerous Gold Medal-winning accolades, a testament to its craftsmanship and the winemaking prowess of the California region.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
