Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates.
One of the most noted traits of Cabernet Sauvignon is its affinity for oak, either during fermentation or in barrel aging. In addition to having a softening effect on the grape’s naturally high tannins, the unique wood flavors of vanilla and spice complement the natural grape flavors of black currant and tobacco.

Alexander Valley 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Wine by Alexander Valley from Sonoma County, California. A late ripening concentrated the flavors while also assuring that the ying and yang of the fruit-the acid and sugar levels-were in perfect balance. The result is a rich, juicy Cab with an expressive nose of cassis and spice. Flavors of black cherry and cocoa dominate this silky wine, but there are also hints of eucalyptus and mint. The 2005 is 90 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot filling out the remainder of the blend. Try this wine with braised short ribs or a creamy Camembert.
Beaulieu – BV 2006 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Wine by Beaulieu – BV from Napa Valley, California. Our 2006 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon captures the true essence of Rutherford. It is like walking through a blackberry bramble in the heat of summer, explains Winemaker Jeffrey Stambor. There is an explosion of blackberry fruit, earthiness as you kick up some dust and a hint of dried leaf character. With opulent dark berry, black cherry, cocoa, anise, forest loam and mineral notes, the wine has well-integrated oak spices that heighten alongside fruity aromas for a long, lingering finish.
