Cabernet Sauvignon
2017

82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot

50% Alexander Valley, 35% Knights Valley, 15% Sonoma Valley,
 
California



This wine is so underrated, we can’t believe it!
One taste and we had to go back and confirm it got only 90 Points, not 96! 



So we thought for Valentines week, it would be appropriate to feature one of the favorite Noble varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon!
This lush and bold red is fit for the King
or Queen who owns your heart!
Royalty (like you right?) would be honored to receive such a gem of a wine!


90 Points! The Wine Enthusiast 
“A well-made red blended with 14% Merlot as well as smaller amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot,
this crowd pleaser is robust and leathery, with length and supple tannins.
The oak is integrated and meshes well with the blackberry, cherry and currant, finishing in clove and toast.”


Our Thoughts.........

 You may remember last year when we featured and sold out of their fabulous “Propriety Red Blend”, we think this bottle is better.

This 2017 vintage offers generous layered aromas of black cherry and woodland berries. Ripe fruit character carries through on the palate along with undertones of caramel, coco and cedar. Bright and juicy with a plush and velvety texture, it is readily enjoyable on its own and versatile enough to be paired with anything from casual pub fare to a classic filet or ribeye.

A bit about Arrowood ….

Arrowood is 100% Sonoma County. Since its founding by Richard and Alis Arrowood in 1986, the winery has produced high-character wines from sustainably and organically farmed vineyards throughout Sonoma County.

Arrowood is located in the historic Sonoma Valley, a small sub-appellation of Sonoma County sheltered at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains. Often described as a warm pocket in a cool region, this area is particularly well suited to red Bordeaux varieties.

Arrowood also sources fruit from a number of well-respected vineyards strategically scattered throughout Sonoma County. These sites are all sustainably or organically farmed and celebrated for their history of producing great wine. Included among Arrowood’s stable of growers are: Arrowood Estate Vineyard, Monte Rosso Vineyard, Justi Creek Vineyards, Smothers-Remick Ridge Vineyard, Saralee’s Vineyard and Alary Vineyard.


The winery is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon and their Proprietary Red. The Sonoma County bottling delivers the high-toned aromatics and firm acidity that typify this cooler, maritime AVA. The flagship Réserve Spéciale features fruit from a handful of hillside vineyards just to the west of the Mayacamas ridge. It offers complex aromas, great concentration and fine tannins.
Winemaker Kristina Werner’s international experience has helped shape her views on farming, winemaking and wine style. In addition to her travels along the wine roads of Western Europe, Kristina has worked at wineries in New Zealand, Portugal, Argentina and Sonoma County. Arrowood has been owned and operated by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke since 2006.
