Cultivar Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Cultivar Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
This Cabernet Sauvignon is bold, polished, and full of California character, opening with blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, cedar, dusty tobacco, and a touch of warm spice. On the palate, it is generous and smooth with rich dark fruit, supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, satisfying finish that makes it especially lovely with grilled steak, burgers, braised short ribs, aged cheeses, and BBQ.  We drink this at cookouts!

Key Details:

Producer: Cultivar — an organic California winery focused on site-driven wines that highlight the character of top vineyard regions across Napa Valley and the broader North Coast.
