Sketchbook Cabernet Sauvignon

This wonderful dark, rich, full-bodied dry red wine from Mendocino Wine Company is one of my all-time favorites.

Cabenet Sauvignon: this versatile grape originally from France, produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Aged Bordeaux-fashion in lightly-toasted French oak, the lush, dark berry flavors are rounded out by velvety, chocolate tannins. Perfect with hearty fare: burgers, steak with roasted vegetables, etc. This superb wine should age in the bottle for up to ten years.
