Tasting Notes: Boasting a complex flavor profile, this California Cabernet showcases notes of black cherry, leather, and tobacco with hints of cocoa and violet. Its crowd-pleasing style is achieved through the careful selection of perfectly ripe grapes and aging in a combination of French and American oak, with 40% new oak providing structural integrity to the wine. This bold, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon boasts an approachable, fruit-forward personality that complements red meats beautifully and even pairs well with veggie burgers.
Winemaking Notes: The grapes were harvested at night to make sure they were as cold as possible upon reaching the winery. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel. Aging occurred in a combination of stainless steel and oak (40% new French and American) to give the final product structure and subtle undertones of pepper and earth.

Sustainability & Freshness: Bag-in-box (BIB), cans, and kegs stand out as the most environmentally friendly options for enjoying wine, particularly for immediate consumption. Glass bottles represent nearly 50% of the wine industry’s carbon footprint according to several industry audits. Kegs, with their large volume capacity, play a role in minimizing packaging waste (glass bottles, corks, and labels). This results in a reduction in the number of shipments required, significantly lowering the overall carbon footprint associated with keg wine consumption. Kegs provide a sealed and inert environment, ensuring the wine’s freshness from the initial pour to the last, minimizing spoilage and reducing the need for additives or preservatives. Additionally, kegs are space-efficient, making them a practical choice for small bars and restaurants.
