California State Fair: 93 Points 'Editors Choice' - Wine Enthusiast Cabernet and Petite Sirah thrive in California’s benchland and valley floor vineyards. Here roots search deep for water and nutrients and resulting grapes are bursting with concentrated flavors. Skin to juice ratio is relatively small resulting in velvety tannins in the final wine. French oak influence contributed to the toasty vanilla qualities in the wine and helped soften tannins for our approachable, easy-to-drink style of Cabernet. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is a soft, smooth wine with well integrated oak. Flavors of dark fruit like blackberry are met with earthy notes such as tobacco, toast and tea in the mid-palate. Layers of rich notes of spice, clove and pepper from the Petite Sirah complete the wine.
