Notre Dame

Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Louis M. Martini Notre Dame is a captivating Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the renowned Sonoma Valley, a region celebrated for its ideal grape-growing conditions. This red wine showcases a robust full-bodied character that embodies both power and elegance. With its high acidity, it offers a refreshing brightness that perfectly complements the wine's luscious fruit intensity. The fruit-forward profile bursts with notes of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry, while subtle hints of oak and spice create a complex layering of flavors. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm structure that grace the palate without overwhelming it. This Cabernet Sauvignon is beautifully dry, making it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes and occasions, and a true reflection of the exceptional terroir of Sonoma Valley.

Region:


Sonoma Valley

Situated between the Mayacamas and Sonoma mountain ranges, wine has been made here since 1825. It is unsurprising, then, that it is home to ancient Zinfandel vines—some of which are more than a century old. You will mainly find these in the northern reaches of the valley, growing alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. The warm and sunny climate results in bold reds with concentrated fruit flavors. But that is not the entire story of this valley. For crisp and elegant wines, look to the southern stretches, where the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay helps to develop elegant Pinot Noir and bright, crisp Chardonnay.
