TASTING NOTES:

Willowbench Cabernet Sauvignon, primarily sourced from Lodi with additional fruit from Lake Winchester and Clarksburg, offers a medium-bodied wine with a rich, juicy palate. Soft, polished tannins and a pleasing, flavorful finish make it versatile and enjoyable.

 

APPELLATION:

California’s moderate climate and diverse terroir create numerous distinct AVAs. Known for its abundant sunshine and extended growing season, the state is a premier winemaking region. Nearly 100 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) span over half a million vineyard acres, supporting a wide range of varietals.

 

AROMAS:

Lifted aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, violets, and leather swirl from the glass. These primary scents are complemented by subtle notes of dried lavender, adding depth to the bouquet.

 

FLAVORS:

The palate reveals lush flavors of pomegranate and cherry. This Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with a small amount of other red grapes, adding softness and rounding out the final blend. Aging in French and American oak for 12 months contributes to its complexity.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS:

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty stews, and rich pasta dishes. It also complements hard cheeses and dishes with robust flavors, making it a versatile choice for various cuisines.
