This full-bodied red wine presents a vibrant ruby hue, hinting at the depth and complexity within.

The tannins are notably firm, providing a structured mouthfeel that accentuates the wine's longevity. This Cabernet is beautifully dry, allowing the rich flavors to shine through without any sweetness, making it a perfect companion for bold meats and hearty dishes.

Region:


Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
