Lightly Sweet Cabernet Sauvignon

The Inkscape Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the enchanting depths of Monterey County, a wine region celebrated for its exceptional fruit quality, particularly during the 2023 harvest. This memorable vintage saw an ideal balance of warm days and cool coastal influences, creating a perfect canvas for the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen harmoniously. Sweet and inviting aromas of plum preserves beckon you to explore the wine's captivating palate. The ripe and jammy fruit flavors complement the luscious sweetness that persists throughout. Although structured tannins are present, they lend a silky texture that elevates the wine's full-bodied character, culminating in an enduring, plush finish.

Wine Region


Monterey County

Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.
