Vineyard and Region: Monterey County, California

The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are carefully selected from the coastal vineyards of Monterey County. The cool climate of this region allows for slow ripening, which contributes to the development of concentrated aromas and flavors in the grapes.

Serving suggestions: ideal with grilled meat and rich dishes
