Founder's Fortune

2020 California Cabernet Sauvignon

The Founder's Fortune 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon from California showcases a bold and rich profile. Its body is full, offering a substantial mouthfeel that lingers with each sip. The acidity is moderate, adding a nice balance to the overall structure. The fruit intensity is prominent, with robust flavors of dark fruits creating a luscious and inviting palate. The tannins are notable, giving the wine a firm backbone and a lingering finish that speaks to its quality.

Tasting notes:

The nose introduces berry with a touch of earthiness. Charming aromas of blackberry and raspberry carry you to the palate, where they join notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak aging. A smooth blanket of tannin and acidity creates a lasting finish.

Region:

California

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.
