ABOUT THIS WINE:
Common Phenomena
Cabernet Sauvignon
Don’t let the name deceive you — there’s nothing common about this approachable Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi, California. It’s a wine that needs to be given close attention to really appreciate. After all, it takes some serious know-how to create a wine that’s so effortlessly drinkable. Bright, soft, and very fruit-forward, this is a wine that was pressed off the skins early to create a full freshness that glides across the palate. Savor notes of blackberry, cassis and red currant while looking out for delicate hints of pepper, vanilla, and rose. This is a glass that does well with grilled, meaty flavors. Serve to impress at your next BBQ.

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.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Common Phenomena
We are continually surrounded by natural beauty, but with closer observation, an even more profound sense of wonder develops — the spiral of a seashell mimicked in the tendril of a grapevine, the repetition of petals circling a flower’s center, or the bursting of new buds in a springtime vineyard. Common Phenomena celebrates not only the world’s obvious allure but that which goes even further when you take a moment to look beyond.
