Michael David Winery 2017 Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi, California

2017 Lodi Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon

The Michael David Winery 2017 Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi, California showcases a medium body with gentle acidity and a moderate fruit intensity. This red wine crafted from the Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety offers a smooth palate enriched with soft tannins, contributing to a well-rounded and approachable drinking experience.

Tasting notes:

Deep garnet in color, the 2017 Cabernet gives way to bold, burly aromas of smashed summer berries, chocolate mocha, and dates on the nose. Full-bodied and bursting in flavor, this wine is layered with red plum, dark chocolate truffle, and savory spice. Toasted oak flavors are carried through the lengthy, trembling finish.

Region:

Central Valley

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.
