Explore the heritage of old California winemaking in the Simi Cabernet
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Simi
Cabernet Sauvignon
With a long history of winemaking, Simi has a lot to live up to. This blend takes many of the best red grapes in California. This 2018 wine is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Merlot. All but the Petite Sirah grapes are included in the Red wine blends of Bordeaux. Petite Sirah is also a French grape, not Bordeaux, and never was widely planted in France but has found a home in California. The resulting wine is dark in color and deep in flavor. We love it with dinner or a light bite for dessert.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

TASTING NOTES:
Plum
Black Pepper
Black Cherry
Aromas of cassis, black plum, and ripe Bing cherry, with a touch of toasty oak. Complex notes of cocoa, cassis, pepper, and cedar. Black fruit dominates the entry, followed by plum and black cherry with a spicy, lifted mid-palate. A bit of peppery cassis leads the finish with some roasted coffee notes and supple yet firm tannins.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Simi
In 1876 Giuseppe and brother Pietro produced the first wines under the Simi name, starting the 140-year history of the winery. Great wine begins in the vineyard, which is why SIMI made its home in the heart of the spectacular Sonoma County over 140 years ago. Their specialized and diverse Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley vineyards allow them to craft a remarkable range of wines, from powerful, nuanced Cabernet Sauvignons to cool, elegant Chardonnays.
