WINE DESCRIPTION

Chacewater Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Chacewater Winery & Olive Mill, a family-owned winery located in the Sierra Foothills appellation of California. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the winery's estate vineyards, which are situated at high elevations and benefit from the region's warm days and cool nights. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by firm tannins and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and flavorful red wines.

ORIGINS

Winery: Chacewater

Region: Sierra Foothills

The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA. The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.
