A blend of fruit from Monterey and Lodi (with just a little splash of Merlot for good measure), this is a traditional California Cabernet in that it shows loads of cherry and red berry fruits, with scents of rose petal, cigar box, and earth. On the palate cherries and red berries dominate, bolstered by ample acidity and moderate tannins keeping the wine light on the tongue, uplifting, refreshing. Dusty tannins and a fleshy richness lend depth to the sweet fruits and soft tannins.
