Blazon Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

"Deep ruby in color with fresh black cherry, plum, blackberry, cedar, and hints of vanilla. The texture is smooth and sleek in the mouth with firm tannins and fresh acidity. The palate is loaded with fresh blackberry, plum, currants and hints of cinnamon and vanilla." —winemaker

"Powerful but still showing a sense of restraint, the grapes for this cuvée are sourced from two vineyards just over the Monterey County line in Paso Robles. The Homan vineyard resides in the central El Pomar District. Winds from the Templeton Gap ensure a slower, even ripening season for grapes grown on gently-sloped hillsides. Mindy’s is located in the Adelaida District, an area well-known for providing structure and backbone. Homan yields a very red-fruited expression of Cabernet, Mindy’s tends to bring blue and black fruits to a blend, and the two sites complement each other well. Red currants, blue plums, black cherries, granite, and a light touch of refreshing mintiness are supported by firm-yet-smooth tannins." —winemaker

"This is an elegant wine with earthy aromas of cassis, plum, cherry, vanilla, oak and slight chocolate. In the glass there are lush flavors of cherry, cassis, blackberry and chocolate. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured wine with firm tannins and a chewy finish that evolves with each sip." —winemaker

"On the nose, aromas of cherry, black pepper, and tobacco, with hints of leather and earthy undertones. On the palate, firm tannins with intense flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, as well as notes of vanilla, oak and spice" —winemaker

"This wine is sourced from two exceptional vineyards in Northern California: Crimson Ridge Vineyard in Lake County, and a historic family vineyard in Lodi famous for growing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. This wine showcases Cabernet Sauvignon’s versatility, highlighting both fantastic winegrowing regions. A bright, fruit forward wine with supple tannins makes this a crowd pleaser. Petite Sirah contributes beautiful color and spice, while splashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec round out the mouthwatering finish." —winemaker

"Our fourth release of Cabernet Sauvignon under our Doris label was sourced from three, valley-floor vineyards; Bedrock in Eldridge, Orange Ave in El Verano and Warm Springs Ranch in Glen Ellen. Primary fermentation took place in closed-top stainless-steel tanks then transferred to neutral oak barrels for a 20-month rest. Our signature style is to age all of our wines sur-lie and after a clean racking we bottle everything unfiltered. We believe the lees of a wine helps to connect terroir and varietal character." —winemaker

"Valravn Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a great balance of savory and sweet immediately apparent in the espresso roast and savory herb components layered on top of rich blackberry, marionberry and cassis fruit. It has a supple tannin structure with high tones, opulent fruit, and a long, satisfying finish." —winemaker

"Aromas of lush, red plum and dark berries with hints of cassis and milk chocolate. Dried fig and chewy tannins give this wine a strong backbone, while 24 months of barrel aging have softened this bold wine." —winemaker

"St. Francis Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon offers classic aromas and flavors of ripe black currant, spicy tobacco and cedar are accompanied by full body and firm structure. An excellent companion to aged blue cheese, beef, roast pork and venison." —winemaker

"Sterling Heritage Collection Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is full and rich with a ruby red-garnet color, accompanied by fragrant aromas and bright flavors of red currant, black raspberry, dark cherry, cassis, and red berry compote. Delicate violet notes interweave with nuances of vanilla crème and caramel from the well-integrated oak aging. Full-bodied and balanced with fresh, mouthwatering acidity and silky, round tannins. Incredibly approachable and a true crowd-pleasing Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine finishes with length, depth, and lovely concentration" —winemaker
