Cabernet Sauvignon

14048 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.

2003 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Inviting aromas of blueberry, black plum, currant and cassis continue on the palate and mingle harmoniously with clove and gingerbread spice notes. A rich and concentrated Cabernet ...more with beautiful balance, purity of fruit and opulent texture. Dark berry flavors and hints of the signature Rutherford dust linger on the finish.

For the Napa Valley Cabernet, Geoff is looking for fruit-forward, mouth-filling flavor and round, supple tannins. "I really like the way this wine came into balance. The Cabernet f ...morerom the young vines on our estate gave us lots of bright, vibrant fruit character and then I blended in some Cab from our Howell Mountain vineyard for added depth and complexity." Geoff guided the wine through a warm fermentation to bring out the rich boysenberry, black cherry, blueberry and dark chocolate. Layers of ripe plum, sweet strawberry, vanilla spice and toasty oak linger on the palate, finishing with round, polished tannins.
