CABERNET SAUVIGNONWINEMAKING NOTESCalifornia's reigning king of red grapes takes center stage in our bold, flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon. Cooler temperatures lengthened the growing season throughout California in 2019, giving our Cabernet fruit more time to develop concentrated flavor. The wine was fermented at warm temperatures in stainless steel, with malolactic fermentation lending a soft richness in the glass. Aged with a mix of French and American oak, this wine delivers on the promise of a juicy, fruit-filled palate, balanced by the delicious warmth of toasted oak.TASTING NOTESOur classic California Cabernet Sauvignon lives up to its lore with a deep ruby hue and layered aromas of dark berries and cassis, framed by enticing tones of violets, caramel, mocha and spice. Medium-firm tannins lend impressive structure and depth to this balanced wine. A bold pop of blackcurrant in the glass accentuates the wine's rich, dark fruit notes in the lead-up to a lingering finish that closes with notes of vanilla bean and toast.Margaret Leonardi MARGARET LEONARDI | WinemakerTOTAL ACIDITY: 0.60 G/100mLRESIDUAL SUGAR: 0.30 G/100mLAPPELLATION: CALIFORNIAPH: 3.73ALCOHOL: 13.5

Producer Description

Agriculture runs in my blood. I am a fourth-generation farmer, born and raised on an organic dairy farm in Northern California. Farming gave me genuine appreciation for the joy of bringing people together to share the goodness that comes from the earth.- Margaret LeonardiMuch like the principles of sustainability, I take a forward-thinking approach to every winemaking decision. I thrive on planning and predictive environments. Understanding how I want the wines to taste allows me to stay focused on the outcome when I plan vineyard visits, anticipate ripeness levels and decide when it's time to harvest the grapes.Sustainability is an ongoing practice. It's about progress, not perfection. It's kindness to people and the planet. And it's tracking metrics, because you can't manage what you don't measure. Just like using a fitness tracker can provide insight and inspiration for change in personal health, a sustainability tracking system can inspire great changes in lifestyle.
