It is a perfect choice for special occasions or for those who appreciate high-quality wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cakebread Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, robust expression of the varietal.On the palate, notes of black cherry and cassis are accompanied by hints of cigar box, tobacco, and a touch of oak. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, leading to a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon now or cellar for up to 15 years.
