Wine AdvocateThe Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve is blended with 7% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot and was matured for 15 months in 30% new French oak. It has a deep ruby-purple color and pretty accents of cinnamon, violet, leather, dried herbs and bitter chocolate complementing cassis fruit. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet fresh, with finely grained tannins, pure flavors and a very long finish.

Wine & SpiritsThis grows at high-eleva-tion estate vineyards, predominantly from the mountains above Alexander Valley (91 percent) with a contribution from Knights Valley. That tight, mountain-grown struc-ture is apparent in the iron-filing austerity of the tannins and the restraint they place on the wine’s dark floral fruit. You could play off the capsicum spice in those youthful tan-nins and decant this for a slow-braised pork shoulder. Or you could cellar it for five years or more.
California wines are a dazzling showcase of sunshine, diversity, and bold American spirit, stretching from the cool fog of Sonoma to the sun-drenched valleys of Paso Robles. Napa Valley steals the spotlight with its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, plush and powerful, while Sonoma charms with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay full of elegance and balance. Coastal breezes and varied soils let winemakers craft everything from crisp Sauvignon Blanc to juicy Zinfandel and even sparkling wines that rival Champagne. Innovation runs deep here, with both legendary estates and small boutique producers pushing boundaries in style and sustainability. Pour a glass of California wine and you’ll taste not just fruit and terroir, but the fearless, pioneering vibe that defines the Golden State.
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.
