Cartesian
Central Coast, California
An award winning wine worthy of deep examination
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cartesian
Cabernet Sauvignon
For Rene Descartes, the famous philosopher, thinking, and conversation are the most important means to a larger understanding of the world. Knowledge is built upon ideas of the past, and there can be no art or culture in a vacuum. The makers of the Cartesian 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon take a cue from Descartes and engage with winemakers past and present to find the best techniques for examining their wine and making it better. It's incredibly versatile and worth a thorough examination. The raspberry and cherry notes play off of the decadent mocha flavors, and when paired with food it really shines by pulling in savory secondary characteristics. We believe that this is the best way to learn about wine: try, think, and take notes. Most importantly, keep asking questions. Judges examined it and found it a winner. It took home a bronze medal at the 2018 Finger Lakes International Wine Compet ...

WINE REGION:
Central Coast
California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.

TASTING NOTES:
Coffee
Black Cherry
Plum
With coffee and dark cherry forming the backbone of this wine our experts think it is perfect for pairing with dinner. The medium body allows it to pair well with food and won't overwhelm your palate. Try with a charcuterie and cheese spread, see how the different flavors play off of the wine.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cartesian
French philosopher René Descartes advocated for logic and referencing the past to progress the future. Like Descartes, our winemakers at Cartesian are firm believers in learning from their predecessors. We push, experiment, and continually ask questions in the spirit of making our wines better. Versatile and worthy of examination, Cartesian wines allow you to deliberate life’s bigger questions rather than ponder your wine selection.
