Cabernet Sauvignon

14060 visitors

California is, after Bordeaux, the worldâ€™s largest grower of Cabernet Sauvignon, most notably in the Napa Valley and warmer AVAs of Sonoma County. In California the area of Cabernet Sauvignon planting doubled in the 1990s, precipitously lowering prices and disrupting the health of the wine industry. As in Bordeaux, it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc to produce world-class wines. More commercial versions may be blended with Ruby Cabernet or other varietals that provide more structure and richness than Cabernet Sauvignon can provide. The grape has also found a home in Washington, though it requires the warmest vineyards such at the Red Mountain AVA in the lower Yakima Valley for it to ripen fully.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with venison, game poultry, lamb, portabella mushrooms and any grilled meats. After dinner pour with dark and bitter chocolate, or cheddar and huntsman cheeses.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Calaveras County

Of all the Foothill counties, Calaveras is considered by many to be particularly well suited to Bordeaux varieties. Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is further proof. The very warm days ...more and mild nights, along with the rocky, well-drained soils along Pennsylvania Gulch Road suit this most venerable of French varieties just fine. Concentrated and focused, with sweet, ripe tannins, this wine delivers complex, rich fruit, with none of the veggie character often found in the coastal valley cabs. It is round and velvety, and ready to enjoy today with hearty dishes like barbecued ribs, a juicy rib-eye or steak fajitas.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley

Boysenberry syrup, blueberry and cherry are the first aromas emanating from the glass of our Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine reveals itself in layers of anise, raspberry, vanilla, lic ...moreorice and clove. The palate mirrors the nose with its fruit forward style nuanced by the complex spice. This Cabernet is very full on the palate, and has well defined tannin. The soft acidity and silky smooth finish let the wine's finish linger for quite some time. This wine is great now, but should mature well for years to come.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Spring Mountain District
Napa Valley

This deeply purple wine is extremely aromatic, with large amounts of black raspberry, crushed violet spice, and cocoa nibs as well as underlying vanilla cedar spice. The palette is ...more rich with ripe cassis and tobacco spice, as well as a dusty black earth character. The tannins are firm and chalky with crisp mountain acidity to balance. More raspberry and fennel linger on the long finish. The wine is very young still and could be consumed so with hearty food, or left to develop beautifully over the next 9-12 years.
