Freakshow

2010 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

Michael David Winery's 2010 Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold red wine from the renowned Lodi region, known for its warm climate and fertile soils that yield rich, flavorful grapes. This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a deep ruby color, hinting at its intense character. The wine presents a remarkable balance of high acidity, contributing to its bright and lively profile, while the fruit intensity is undeniably prominent, featuring lush notes of dark berries and hints of plum. The tannins are firm yet smooth, providing a solid structure that rounds out the wine beautifully. This Cabernet is expertly crafted, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a fruit-forward and satisfying red wine experience that pairs well with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.

Away from the dramatically cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, Central Valley is California's breadbasket, where much of the country's fruit, vegetables, nuts and grapes are grown. Bathed in sunshine and growing in fertile soils, Central Valley spreads 400 miles from Sacramento to Fresno. Because of its heat, the region produces abundant Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which soak up the sun and transform it into dense, deeply colored wine. In the region's cooler AVAs—those that lie around the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, such as Lodi—higher acid grapes like Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Barbera and Chardonnay grow with great success.
