Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon

2008 Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc

Hume Vineyards Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon is a delightful red wine that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Virginia's winegrowing region. This wine showcases a medium to full body, providing a rich and satisfying mouthfeel that invites exploration. Its bright acidity adds a refreshing liveliness, enhancing the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark berries and cherries intermingling with hints of herbal undertones characteristic of the Cabernet Franc. Tannins are notable, yet soft enough to ensure a smooth finish, making it very approachable even at its vintage age. This wine is beautifully balanced, presenting a dry profile that complements its fruit-forward character, and it pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or hearty dishes.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
