1985 Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon

Sutter Home Family Vineyards is a historic estate that was purchased by the Trinchero family in 1948. In the early 1970s the estate was producing a sweeter wine it called White Zinfandel, creating a market for sweeter wines in the U.S. It also helped make Moscato popular in this country. Today the estate makes a broad portfolio of red, white, pink and sparkling wines. The estate is still run by the Trinchero family, and it is one of the largest wine producers in the nation by volume.

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
