About This Wine

Simi

Cabernet Sauvignon

With a long history of winemaking, Simi has a lot to live up to. This blend takes many of the best red grapes in California. This 2018 wine is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Merlot. All but the Petite Sirah grapes are included in the Red wine blends of Bordeaux. Petite Sirah is also a French grape, not Bordeaux, and never was widely planted in France but has found a home in California. The resulting wine is dark in color and deep in flavor. We love it with dinner or a light bite for dessert.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.

Wine Region

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

Tasting Notes

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

Aromas of cassis, black plum, and ripe Bing cherry, with a touch of toasty oak. Complex notes of cocoa, cassis, pepper, and cedar. Black fruit dominates the entry, followed by plum and black cherry with a spicy, lifted mid-palate. A bit of peppery cassis leads the finish with some roasted coffee notes and supple yet firm tannins.
