WINE DESCRIPTION

Clark-Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Clark-Claudon Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in Napa Valley, California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are situated on the eastern side of the valley, at the base of Howell Mountain. The vineyards benefit from the unique microclimate and volcanic soils of the region, which impart distinctive flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and structure. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, rich and complex Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a long, smooth finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Clark-Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and full-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe red fruit, dark chocolate, and black pepper.On the palate, the wine has a velvety texture, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and cassis. The finish is long and complex, with a pleasant tannic structure. Overall, this is an enjoyable, well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that pairs well with steak or other full-flavored dishes.
