Description

Folie a Deux Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine is a pure expression of its region. Concentrated aromas of graphite, boysenberry, dark cherry, a hint of menthols and black olive sit atop clove and brown sugar notes, all layered over soft, fine-grained tannins. Rich, round and robust in structure, this red wine showcases ripe, concentrated flavors of dark fruit, complemented by chocolate, molasses, tobacco spice and a balanced finish. This award-winning California red wine earned 92 Points from Wine Spectator in 2016 and 92 Points from James Suckling in 2017. Pair this dry red wine Cabernet Sauvignon with herb-crusted lamb or a juicy, seasoned burger topped with goat cheese and caramelized onions. Grapes for the Folie a Deux Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon were carefully selected from prime vineyards in northern Sonoma’s renowned Alexander Valley. Stretching 22 miles from Healdsburg to Cloverdale following the Russian River’s winding course, this appellation is noted for its high quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards, which benefit from the region’s warm climate, marine-cooled evenings and well-drained, volcanic hillside soils, resulting in a rich Cabernet Sauvignon red wine with smooth, well-structured tannins. This dry red wine undergoes an extended maceration period of 10 to 16 days, following a fermentation temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The wine is aged for 22 months in French oak (21% new), giving this Cabernet wine a plush, layered palate. This bottled wine has 14.5% alcohol by volume. Folie a Deux wines are exclusively sourced from Sonoma appellations, where each variety thrives in local terroir. Sustainable farming and true-to-varietal wines evoke a sense of place and true Sonoma.

Cabernet Sauvignon

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
