Winemaker Notes
Dark raspberry, blackberry and cassis take the lead in our 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, tinged with sweet earth and toasted oak. Layers of rich forest fruit unfold across the midpalate, accented by anise and dusty cocoa. Neither daunting nor heavy, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect marriage of robust character and smooth drinkability. The full flavors and well-balanced acids pair well with rich, creamy foods such as chicken Cordon Bleu or seared steak dressed in herb butter.

The grapes for Edna Valley Vineyard's Cabernet Sauvignon were selected from some of the best vineyards of northern San Luis Obispo County. Their criteria for these vineyards included well-drained soils, favorable hillside locations, and owners who truly desire to “grow” good wine. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels to mature slowly and develop complexity.
