About This Wine

Masterworks Series

Cabernet Sauvignon

Master painters dedicate their lives to their art. From an early age, they must spend their days training—honing their craft to express just the right ideas. Broad strokes won’t do. Thomas Hart Benton is one of the greatest American painters of the 20th century, and in his honor, we have brought this American wine to the club.

This wine is a tale of two times: Old World and New World. A classic Cabernet Sauvignon representing the charm of Old World wines crafted with New World winemaking techniques. Lodi’s hot, dry days and sandy soils provide bold aromatic intensity and dark fruit flavors. Packed with soft tannins that coat the palate, this wine is beautifully concentrated. One sip will have you going back for another glass.

Wine Region

Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.

Bold aromatics and classic savory notes like dried herbs, bay leaf and lavender complement the rich texture of dark cherries and black currant flavors. A layer of warm baking spices follow, leading to soft yet lush tannins, making this wine well-balanced and beautifully approachable.
