2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Denice Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley
Black currant, black cherry, and black plum interplay in this rich, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep aromas and
structured tannins provide balance and elegance to the intense black fruit flavors. Pairs beautifully with grilled steak, lamb, or braised short ribs. This wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2030 with proper cellaring.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that occurred in Southern France in the 1800s. It also is a major variety used in red Bordeaux wines. In California, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted red wine grape. A long-season variety, Cabernet requires ample time to fully ripen, resulting in rich, ageworthy wines. It is a fascinating wine to produce, as its various growing locations throughout California, will offer up many unique styles, waiting to be captured by the winemaker.
