Caligrafica
Lodi, California
An elegant, 93 point Gold medal winning Cabernet with depth and complexity from oak aging.
ABOUT THIS WINE:

Caligrafica
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a tough grape when it’s first picked and pressed. It can be harsh and unpalatable, but winemakers long ago discovered the remedy: oak barrels. Aging the Cabernet in oak unites the fruit flavors with the vanilla and spice imparted by the wood. The oak adds a richness to a young wine, as well as depth and complexity. The Caligrafica is a result of this love story. It’s an elegant mixture, with blackcurrant fruit melding seamlessly into the oaky flavors from the barrel. This wine is romantic... a product and labor of love. And it took home 93 points and a Gold medal from the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:

Lodi
The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.

TASTING NOTES:

Blackcurrant
French Oak aging imparts toasty, vanilla notes that lead to powerful black-tinged fruit of fig, plum, and black currants. Dark dusty chocolate aromas continue onto the smooth and rich palate. The chalky tannins and toasty oak notes combine to give this wine an elegant balance.
