Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma County is one of the most diverse wine growing regions. Due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean, the climate flows from west to east, rather than from north to south. The eastern inland appellations are warm, dry, and ideal for Bordeaux varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The microclimates in each appellation are warm enough to fully ripen red Bordeaux varieties, but cool enough to retain the natural acidity needed to make intense age worthy wines.

93 Points - Decanter
"Sourced from Napa and Sonoma it is appellated North Coast. A richly savoury bouquet reveals rose petals, red liquorice, charcuterie and vibrant grapefruit zest while the palate is layered with leather-scented black cherries and graphite minerality. Plump tannins build through a lengthy finish of juicy Damson plum and mountain blueberry fruit."
