Wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionally satisfying, with its ripe fruits, oak influences, and sun-drenched, terroir-driven characters. It is the "desert island wine" for many consumers, but the high cost of top-notch Cabernet from the world's premier appellations relegates these beauties to special occasions only. What's a Cabernet connoisseur to do?

Think outside the box and look to other regions that are not widely known for their Cabernets but have the terroir to achieve greatness with this revered grape. Factor in the bargaining power of your favorite wine store, and you've got yourself a deal! Do what we did and score the Tree Fort Cabernet!

Tree Fort is an environmentally minded California winery known for its value-based wines, particularly its Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. The winery emphasizes a connection to the Central Coast and an adventurous spirit, using screw cap closures for easy transport. For every case sold, Tree Fort plants a tree through their partnership with One Tree Planted.

The 2020 Tree Fort Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas and flavors of blackberries, plums, and cassis laced with herbs and brambly earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and bright, juicy acidity that leads to a long finish infused with a subtle hint of black pepper.
