It has dark berry and cassis flavors with some soft tannins. A good value balanced effort.

Enjoy this full-bodied Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon with rich mouthfeel, moderate tannins and deep color accentuating the taste of black currant, plum, blueberry and spicy oak.

Luxurious, rich and concentrated with aromas of cherry, currant and blueberry these are just the start of this 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon.

"In 1999, warm summer days helped the Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full ripeness, while maintaining a generous level of acidity in the grapes. The result is a wine with power and intensity, but with a balance and freshness that only Mother Nature can provide. Aromas of ripe blueberries and blackberries marry well with earthy notes of tobacco leaves and peat. The color is a deep, dark red, almost opaque. On the palate, the ripe fruit character follows through, then yields to flavors of cedar and spice. The wine was aged for a full 26 months, in order to soften and round out the full tannins. It was then bottled without fining or filtration, so as not to diminish the wine's bold but alluring character." Winemaker
