WINE DESCRIPTION

Vigilance Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Shannon Ridge Winery in the Red Hills AVA of Lake County, California. The wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the volcanic soils of the region, which are known to impart a distinctive mineral character to the wine. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French and American oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with flavors of black currant, blackberry, and dark chocolate, along with notes of vanilla and spice from the oak. The tannins are firm and well-structured, making this an excellent wine for pairing with hearty meat dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

ORIGINS

Winery: Vigilance

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.
