Winery:  "For the 2006 vintage, our premier quality grapes from Lake County, Monterey County and Santa Barbara county all played an important role in our Cabernet Sauvignon. The warmer weather of Lake and Santa Barbara Counties gives this wine its fruit-forward characteristics, while the cooler vineyards of Monterey balance the acidity levels. The different varietal expressions produced in each vineyard allow us to create a balanced and inviting Cabernet Sauvignon.

Our Lake County and Central Coast vineyards yield a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that is deep, dense and ripe black cherry, plum and a hint of earthiness. It delivers the warm fruit and broad mouth feel typical of our Family Cabernet Sauvignon.

The medium plus body combined with juicy ripe fruit and flavor-enhancing acidity make this versatile wine an excellent complement to grilled steaks, salmon or even a meaty pizza."

Wired For Wine:  The Trinchero Chardonnay was so well liked today that we couldn't resist following with its sister wine.  This is a great Cabernet to re-stock with after the Labor Day festivities.
