FETZER VALLEY OAKS CABERNET SAUVIGNON

With its hearty flavors and deep dark color, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Cabernet, is the top dog of the red wine category. Naturally occurring high levels of tannins give Cabernet its well-developed, full-bodied flavor for which it is so prized. It's also desirable because of its ability to age well. Those new to drinking wine are often intimidated by a Cabernet and think of it as a "strong" wine. Somewhere along the line they only got part of the story on this full-bodied, intense wine. Truth be told, Cabernets can be mellow and mild or hearty and rich. If you like the bite of black currant berries or choke cherries and the rich flavor of blackberries, you'll like Cabernet. Because Cabernet is traditionally aged in oak barrels, you might also taste oak and vanilla flavors that come from the barrels.
