About This Wine


Tulares Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Tulares Valley Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a lighter style of this classic grape. Bright red fruit notes join Cabernet's signature herbaceousness for a lighthearted flavor profile that makes this wine both versatile and friendly. Cabernet Sauvignon had a rocky start in the soil of California. Despite becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe, the French grape took its time arriving to the oversea colonies. Once here, it had a long journey to the west coast to find enough sunshine to thrive. In the years following, this hardy grape stood its ground through vineyard pest epidemics and Prohibition. Today, California is internationally recognized as a source of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon wines. We invite you to share in this dauntless grape's success and enjoy a taste of history.

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.

  • A figure representing the Raspberry tasting note. Raspberry

An aromatic nose introduces scents of dried herbs and ripe red fruit. The palate is light for a Cabernet, with modest tannins that give the wine structure without being overbearing. Juicy raspberry notes join a touch of earthiness for a bright and balanced wine.
