Cabernet Sauvignon

Clear skies and the cool, dry influence of La Niña resulted in a long growing season and a late harvest in 2006 vintage. Perfectly ripe grapes yielded a beautifully colored, complex Cabernet with silky tannins.

Tasting Notes

Rich garnet in color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits. Bright notes of plum and cherry followed by a hint of vanilla. Abundant flavors of juicy, ripe berries and a hint of toast, with balanced fresh acidity, soft tannins and good structure. Full-bodied with a smooth finish.

Food Pairing

Pair with brie, gruyere, Italian dishes, grilled meats, steak, ribs or chocolate.
