Barbed Wire Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
68 In Stock
We are North Coast locals. We know the most interesting vines in the rural and rugged North Coast are usually behind the gnarliest barbed wire. We’re not afraid to follow that wire, jump the fence, kick the dirt around and get right up close to the grapes. We don’t mind getting a little dirty to make great wine. In fact, that’s our favorite part.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A deep, dark ruby color in the glass hints at the intense aromas of spicy black
cherries and mocha in our B arbed Wire Cabernet Sauvignon. Concentrated flavors of
juicy cherry and blackberry fill the mouth, leaving a dash of bittersweet chocolate
in their wake. Barbed Wire Cabernet Sauvignon is smooth and rewarding on its own,
but it’s especially delicious served with smoked ribs, barbecued steak or a juicy
burger topped with blue cheese.
Vineyard Notes
We live and breathe the North Coast. We know exactly where to find the best grapes
in Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake County and Napa. We discovered an incredible block of
Cabernet vines in the Alex ander Valley and blended that with Cabernet fruit fr om a
rugged spot in Lake County known for its red volcanic soils and deep concentrated
flavor. A touch of Merlot and Petite Sirah fr om Napa Valley created a balanced
blend, while aging in oak barrels gave it a rich, full-bodied texture.
