About:

From Bordeaux by way of California, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys the same status and adoration in the grape-growing regions of the Golden State as it does back home in France. The grapes grown in California tend to be more fruit-forward and delicate, with deep, dark fruit notes of blueberry and blackberry and hints of mint and eucalyptus.

Our California Cabernet Sauvignon displays layer upon layer of dark berry fruit with notes of spice and vanilla. A well-structured red wine with plush tannins and a dry finish. This full-bodied red is heavy on the oak character, with a sturdy alcohol level of 14%.

The Signature Series™ Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most satisfying kits to make, thanks to the inclusion of grape skins. You’ll mirror the professional vintner process of “punching the cap”, which makes your winemaking adventure even more hands-on. VineCo’s jammy skin packs are much more expressive than dried grape skins, imparting more character from the grapes and boosting tannin structure in the finished wine.

High-quality American oak cubes are used in the final aging process of the California Cabernet kit. One of the reasons oak has always been used to age wine is the slow release of delicious, complex compounds that complement the wine's flavour. Oak cubes have more depth of flavour than chips or powder and slowly release compounds like furfural (sweet, caramel-like), lignins (vanillin, spice, smoke), and lactones (classic oak flavour). American oak in particular is known to deliver aromatic sweetness, vanillin, and an extra helping of classic oak flavour that some Californian Cabs are famous for.

The VineCo Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a must for any red wine lover. Add a few bottles to your cellar and revisit them over the months and years to see just how much the wine can develop. If you want something to pair well with a char-grilled steak, look no further than this bold, assertive varietal.
