Starboard Dessert Wine

2007 Ramona Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Eagles Nest Winery Starboard Dessert Wine is a remarkable expression of Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the sun-kissed Ramona Valley. This 2007 vintage showcases a beguiling deep red hue that entices the eye and sets the stage for an indulgent experience. The wine presents a full-bodied character, rich in flavor and complexity that delightedly coats the palate. Its lively acidity adds a refreshing backbone, perfectly balancing the wine's pronounced fruit intensity, which bursts with luscious notes of ripe blackberries and dark cherries. With soft tannins that provide a gentle structure, this dessert wine culminates in a delightful, off-dry finish that leaves a lingering sweetness. Ideal for pairing with decadent chocolate desserts or enjoyed simply on its own, this wine embodies a luxurious treat for any occasion.

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.
