Cabernet Sauvignon
|
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
El Dorado County
This fine wine originated at the Shultz Family Vineyards, where premium grapes are cultivated in three blocks named after the Shultz children: Matthew, Morgan, and Mikayla. Nestled ... more in the Sierra Foothills, the long, warm days and cool nights are ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Time-honored practices are combined with the latest research to grow some of California’s most beautiful vines. Carefully managed by hand, the vine canopy grows luscious little berries that are harvested at the peak of ripeness to yield focused, intense flavor. The fruit is then crafted into premium wines at Stonehouse Vineyards & Winery.
With the Cabernet Sauvignons becoming our flagship wines, this 2001 Cab explains itself. True to the varietal and reputation of Cab, this massively elegant wine has flavors of cherry and cassis, and black currant that seems to fight for the palate ’s attention. Scents of dill, sage, and sweet tobacco excite the senses while exhibiting a bold mouthfeel backed by firm, yet refined, tannins and perfectly balanced acidity. Ending with flavors of oak and vanilla, this Cab has it all.

2004 Zinfandel
Shenandoah Valley
California’s Shenandoah Valley has long been recognized as one of the finest locations for growing the Zinfandel grape. At Stonehouse Vineyards & Winery, the age-old craft of win ... moreemaking is used to produce wines that reflect the grapes and soils in the heart of the Sierra Foothills.
Dusty berry and black cherry aromas, with a touch of white pepper, entice the most discerning oenophile to quickly tilt the glass. An unmatched richness of massive blackberry and spice flavors follow, perfectly balanced by a soft backbone of silky tannin structure and multi-faceted cocoa and berry fruit nuances. This unforgettable experience comes to a drawn out conclusion with vanilla-spice and smoky oak flavors that linger on the back of the palate.
