About This Wine


Butler & Thief

Cabernet Sauvignon

The first wine from Butler & Thief was an absolute knockout. Winning 94 points and a Gold medal from the judges at the International Women’s Wine Competition, it quickly became a member favorite as well as a critical darling. The follow up is another home run. The Cabernet grapes were picked in Lodi, California (one of our favorite up-and-coming regions) at modest ripeness to retain balanced acidity and fruit. We love how the ripe tannins give this wine texture, and the tertiary notes on the palate complement the bright fruit and opulent structure. Try pairing this with spicy meat dishes! Judges love this wine too. It took home a silver medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge and the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

The firm structure can stand up to most meat dishes: BBQ and smoked beef brisket, Ribs and pulled pork. Opulent and high aroma intensity will harmonize with flavor intense dishes, think about paring with anything that is garlic, spice or herb infused.
