Inkscape 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mendocino County, California

Description

Some consider Mendocino County in Northern California to be as remote as it gets. The land in Mendocino is covered in redwood trees, filled with switchback roads, and charmingly desolate. During the day, temperatures can hit near the 100’s, but at night it drops drastically, creating a diurnal shift and a truly idyllic environment for grape growing. Grapes with tough skins like Cabernet Sauvignon thrive in climates like Mendocino, and this wine is a beautiful example of the bold and powerful wines coming out of the region. Complex and serious, this full-bodied wine features dark fruit flavors and earthy notes picked up from the terroir of the area. Thanks to lots of time in oak during the aging process, heavy and grippy tannins coat the palate with every sip. This wine is perfect for the classic pairing of grilled red meats and dishes with deep flavors. Excellent to drink now or age-worthy for a special occasion in a few years.
