WINE DESCRIPTION
Girasole Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Girasole Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in Mendocino County, California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards, which are situated in the Redwood Valley appellation. The vineyards benefit from the region's unique microclimate, which is characterized by warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's structure and complexity. 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. Girasole Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the art of winemaking and the unique terroir of Mendocino County.

ORIGINS
Winery: Girasole
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
