TASTE

This Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% American: 50% from the Columbia Valley in Washington State, 50% from California. The Washington State vineyards are located on the edge of Red Mountain in Columbia Valley – this sundrenched climate provides both the structure and finesse of the Old World, with the succulent ripe flavors of the New World. The Washington State fruit was fermented whole berry, and natively, with the wine was on the skins for 35 days – this allowed the wine to develop impressive density and a chewy structure. California vineyards are older vines on the west side of Lodi on the edge of the Delta, which allows for grapes with ripe fruit flavors, natural acidity and complexity. Our California component, which was aged in some oak after a traditional fermentation, is quite soft and luscious. The result is a balanced Cabernet Sauvignon blended with some Syrah for depth and richness. A gorgeous blend that’s all its own and more complex than its parts.

FOOD MATCH

A rich meat dish, a meat loaf or rice stuffed peppers.

Rosés being crisp and casual and very food friendly have an amazing knack for bringing people together. As an added bonus this rosé from Aix en Provence continues to be one of the best values rosé on the market.

TASTE

The wine is not heavy or fat on the palate, but rather the palate has tremendous length in addition to the raspberry, cherry, peach, herbal, citrus and mineral core.

FOOD MATCH

Fresh salads and dinners of grilled meats and vegetables go well with rosé. Rosé is also perfect for tempering down the bold chilli flavors found in popular Mexican, Szechuan, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes.
