Tortoise Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes sourced from select vineyards in California's Central Coast, where the maritime climate provides a long growing season, allowing for optimal ripeness and balanced acidity. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal's natural fruit characteristics. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon is designed to be approachable and food-friendly, offering flavors of dark berries and a smooth, structured finish, making it suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
