Cedar Rock Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon originated in Bordeaux. But Cabernet Sauvignon is no longer synonymous with rustic, classic wines from this leading wine region – just look at the Californian vineyards, where it has established a firm foothold. And with great success, as evidenced by the quality of Cedar Rock Cabernet Sauvignon.

A Californian red wine

Robert Mondavi was a key figure in the introduction of Cabernet Sauvignon to 'The Sunny State' and achieved great success. Now, every winery of any significance to Californian viticulture has planted Cabernet Sauvignon in its vineyards, including Cedar Rock. These vineyards are located a bit further north and relatively close to the coast. This makes the climate somewhat cooler than, for example, central California. This, combined with the perpetual sunshine, allows Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve ideal growth. And this clearly influences the final aroma and flavor of Cedar Rock Cabernet Sauvignon. Cedar Rock goes to great lengths to make Cedar Rock Cabernet Sauvignon a perfect wine. This begins in the vineyards. The winemaker grows the grapes according to the California Sustainable Winegrowing process. This not only results in a fantastic wine, but is also better for the environment. After harvest, pressing, and fermentation, the juice undergoes its unique oak aging, which defines the fine character of Cedar Rock Cabernet Sauvignon.
