Cabernet Sauvignon Mendocino Made with Organic Grapes

Cabernet Sauvignon

Elizabeth Spencer is proud that this Cabernet Sauvignon is recognized by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), a nonprofit organization that advances organic agriculture for a healthy world through organic certification, education, advocacy, and promotion.

Wine Production

Select lots of Cabernet Sauvignon experience a short maceration and are pressed off after 5 days before being aged in stainless steel tanks to capture the fruit forward character of the varietal and ensure lighter tannin structure. This wine is bottled in less than 12 months after harvest to retain freshness. 

Tasting Notes

Exquisite aromas of black cherry, sun-dried blackberry, rich chocolate, velvety caramel, and subtle hints of licorice weave a captivating tapestry. The palate unfolds with confident allure, presenting enchanting flavors of luscious ripe black fruits, Madagascar vanilla bean, and an inviting blend of baking spices. The mouthfeel boasts the caress of silky tannins, gracefully balanced acidity, and an enduring, lingering finish that leaves an impression long after the last sip.
