Carnivor Cabernet Sauvignon

Big and bold in style Carnivor Cabernet offers intense dark fruit aromas and deep inky color. A plush velvety mouthfeel frames rich flavors of dark berries coffee mocha and toasted oak all backed by a distinctive smoothness and a lingering silky finish. VITICULTURE NOTES: We selected a large portion of the fruit for our Cabernet Sauvignon from premier vineyards in Lodi a leading California winegrowing region for over 150 years. Lodi offers ideal conditions for growing intensely ripe grapes with great natural acidity and fruit-forward characteristics. The 2013 growing season allowed an early October harvest at peak ripeness for Cabernet grapes which showed bold signature varietal character and desirable dark fruit flavors. WINEMAKING NOTES: Following a brief cold soak to encourage extraction of color and tannin from the fruit the must was fermented at 88-92°F for four to six days. The wine was then aged on oak until Cabernet's naturally firm tannins were softened and
