Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
This Cabernet offers aromas of bright cherry, currant and raspberry with notes of toasted oak and vanilla. In the glass, you will find flavors of cherry and currant and a lingering and thoughtful finish. Good structure, a moderate weight, polished tannins and balanced acidity.
Appellation: California Alcohol: 13.8% Download Tasting NotesCabernet Sauvignon is known for creating wines of amazing density and complexity with both concentrated and nuanced flavors. In making Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon, I like to add to these layers of flavor by blending in small amounts of other red varietals to add color, texture, and a bit of spice. Varieties and vineyard lots are kept separate until the best lots are blended together to create the final wine.

Tasting Panel, March 2021 Issue
Made with organic grapes and coming in at 13.8% abv, this Cabernet-dominant blend (79%), with some Petite Sirah, Merlot, Syrah and other grapes, is a balanced, fruity red that shines from within. Some of the vines sourced are as old as 50 years, the majority of fruit coming from Mendocino County, home to Bonterra. Dusty cocoa tannins and a dollop of licorice are the frills on ripe blueberry notes. Plush plum integrates with graham cracker and a spiced bouquet of lilacs.
Wine Enthusiast, April 2017 Issue
Beautifully integrated oak and a firm structure combine in this rather tight but superbly balanced wine. It smells like black cherries and tastes like raspberries and blueberries, accented by toasted baguette, cinnamon and fresh cedar notes. The finish is long and lightly spicy. Best after 2018.
