About This Wine


King's Clay

Cabernet Sauvignon

Our King's Clay Cabernet Sauvignon is an emblem of tenacity and grit from California's sun-drenched vineyards. With rich oak and spice, balanced by subtle red fruit notes, this Cabernet is worthy of a king. It has been said the more difficult the battle, the more beautiful the outcome. This concept is well understood in viticulture; the more challenging the conditions, the better the fruit. In this case, the relentless California sun and quick-draining soils force these Cabernet Sauvignon vines to focus their energy and attention on their fruit. This results in ripe grapes bursting with flavor, the perfect canvas for oak aging to add its enticing caramel-like notes and toasty spice. This wine is a savor-worthy symbol of triumph. Enjoy it with a well-deserved meal after conquering a long day. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.
