Schug Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This supple and generous Cabernet Sauvignon blend is crafted in the classic Bordeaux style that Walter Schug pioneered in the 1970s as winemaster of Joseph Phelps Vineyards. A ripe mouthful of currant and cherry flavors is framed by fine tannins and a touch of spicy oak. It has a classic bouquet bursting with berries, cassis, and spice. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot are blended in to add depth and elegance, further enhancing the bright berry flavors and lively acidity. Though ready to enjoy now, it will develop gracefully with 5 to 7 years of additional cellaring.

Try this wine with hearty stews, wild mushrooms, and grilled meats.

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot
