WINE DESCRIPTION
Heller Estate Cachagua Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Heller Estate, a family-owned winery located in the Cachagua region of Carmel Valley, California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are situated at an elevation of 1,200 feet above sea level and benefit from the cool coastal climate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex 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 wine enthusiasts who appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of small-batch, estate-grown wines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Heller Estate
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
