About This Wine


King's Clay

Cabernet Sauvignon

Clay soils force vines to struggle to get the nutrients they need to survive. The grapes have to dig deeper to get to water, which results in grapes with fantastic characteristics. We think that is a wine fit for a king. The deep color, notes of dark fruit, and hints of clove and nutmeg are an elegant mixture. The polished tannins and firm structure can stand up to most dishes, and especially shine next to meats. We love it with barbecue, smoked brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. The opulent and intense aromas will harmonize with stronger flavors, so feel free to use all the garlic, spice, and herbs you want! Judges love it too! It took home a Bronze medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

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 Baking Spice tasting note. Baking Spice

This wine is full of dark red and blue fruits, with fleshy tannins that provide it with a nice structure. The wine characteristics allow it to stand up easily to the intensity of grilled and smoked meats. We've loved it with all types of barbecue.
