Ravenswood Merlot Vintners Blend 2009
Merlot is by nature softer than Cabernet, which is the problem with most low-priced Merlots: they're limp to the point of being flaccid. Our Vintners Blend bucks this trend, adding the structure of French oak to the early-maturing appeal of the varietal. Merlot's opulent fresh-plum persona is here enhanced by notes...
Petite Sirah's story is a heartwarmer in more ways than one. Brought to California from France in the nineteenth century, it was planted alongside Zinfandel to lend oomph to that varietal. Somehow, in the supportive process, its own merits got eclipsed; not until the 1990s did scientists discover it's the genetic...
A proprietary Sonoma County blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Zinfandel, RED is lush with succulent ripe red fruit flavors and spicy aromas. Full-bodied and versatile, RED pairs with a variety of foods for any occasion.
Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon California - Kosher
This is a very approachable Cabernet Sauvignon with berry and plum notes finishing with fruity blackberry and spice flavors. It is light in the mouth with food-friendly acidity and tannin and hints of sweet French oak on the finish.
Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon Jeunesse - Kosher
Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon Jeunesse is new to the Herzog portfolio this year. A great choice, this off dry red wine is just what they needed. This semi-sweet red has lovely up front fruit that follows through on the palate with a slightly sweet finish. Sure to be a huge seller...
This wine is a classic example of Geyser Peak’s intense, lively style of Cabernet Sauvignon. Uplifted fruit flavors of red and black cherry predominate in the aroma, but the underlying complexity hints at undertones of blackberry, dark chocolate and spice. In typical Geyser Peak style, the bright fruit is nicely supported...
A tart, young, lean and concentrated wine, with sharply focused pear and pineapple flavors that gain elegance and finesse on the finish, with very fine balance, crisp acidity and long fruity flavors on the aftertaste. Coarse, gravelly soils ... stratified silts. Sand and stone. These are the handiwork of the Arroyo...
Even though this was a complete wine from the start, those who know me know that I’m never satisfied and so chose to blend in some Cabernet Sauvignon to add coarser tannins to the midpalate and some Petit Verdot to stretch those same tannins out at the finish. The nose stays...
Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Winemaker David Guffy selected grapes from three of California's premium Cabernet winegrowing regions Mendocino County, Lake County and Napa Valley to create this wine. Mendocino fruit contributes spice and mid-palate weight, Lake County adds the classic red fruit profile of Bing cherry, and Napa Valley maintains their signature style and structure,...
London Cabernet Sauvignon by Chateau Felice
A little wild, a little reckless, and a whole lotta red. This cab starts off slow and easy, but revs up into a fun, full-bodied, fruit-driven wine in no time. Flavorfully rich, cherry red, and oh-so-berry, it’s nothing short of ready for action, and one of the greatest finds in all...
Silver Palm Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Long celebrated as the king of red wine grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon originated in the Bordeaux region of France, but today produces superb wines throughout the world, especially in the renowned wine valleys of northern California. A late-ripening variety, it produces small, deeply colored berries that yield rich, long-lived wines with concentrated...
Paso Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Dark garnet with cherry hues. Cocoa, vanilla and blackberry spice. Rich vanilla and cocoa, combined with spicy blackberries and pepper. The tannins are muscular with a structured mouthfeel leading to a supple finish with touches of anise and cherries.
Deep claret with crimson hues. Explosive blackberry aromas backed by soft vanilla notes. Dense, dark, jammy flavors of blackberry, generous spice and vanilla, firm tannins and a long, graceful finish.
