...a big, sweet nose of cassis, black cherry jam, forest floor and smoke. An elegant Cabernet with serious intensity, good purity and medium weight, it reminds me of a stylish California version of a Bordeaux St.-Julien.
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.
