A Signature Cabernet Sauvignon

Get into a wine club

For a long time, Cabernet Sauvignon was the most widely planted premium red wine grape in the world. It can survive in many climates without sacrificing quality. In 1976, a hundred years after coming to California, the California Cabernet truly came into its own when an American Cab was preferred over French Bordeaux wines in the famous “Judgment of Paris” taste test in France. In the ‘80s, the vines were grafted onto American rootstock, which led to a stronger wine. This wine is worth joining a wine club to get a deal on.

Some very good varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon near St. Helena, CA

Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa Valley, a short drive from downtown St. Helena, produces world-class wines at affordable prices. These include several types of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2010 Signature Vintage Cabernet Sauvignon, a deep purple wine with a slight red edge that comes from the best two barrels of the vintage, has an aroma so profoundly layered it’s worth a paragraph all by itself. It begins with a strong cassis, with streaks of blackberry, plum, blueberry and red berries and highlights of crushed roses, blue flowers and anise. The oak adds elements of smoke and tar to the bouquet.

The palate of the ’10 Signature is similar to the aroma, with the taste of black, blue and
red fruits, licorice, anise, tobacco, smoke, rosehips, and violets. This is a wine that deserves to be kept and allowed to age. Join the Anderson’s Conn Valley Wine Club and buy a bottle today.
