2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Denice Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley
Soft and smooth wine with aromas of blackberry, and earthy notes of tobacco, cloves, and pepper. This wine provide drinking pleasure through 2030 with proper cellaring. Pairs well with lasagna, steak salad with gorgonzola, and best of all - double chocolate cake.
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.
