Introduction:
The 2023 Bacchus Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold yet accessible California red, crafted with a focus on balance, structure, and drinkability. This wine is part of the Bacchus portfolio created by sommelier David Gordon, offering premium quality at an everyday price point.

Terrior:
Sourced primarily from Paso Robles (75%) and the Central Coast (25%), regions known for their warm days, cool nights, and a mix of sandy loam and calcareous soils. These conditions yield grapes with ripe fruit character, balanced acidity, and polished tannins, ideal for producing smooth, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon.

Appearance:
Deep ruby red with a vibrant core and slight purple hues on the rim, showcasing youth and concentration.

Nose:
Generous aromas of black currant, ripe plum, and blackberry lead the way, followed by underlying notes of cedar, sweet tobacco, and a whisper of vanilla from oak aging.

Palate:
Full-bodied and structured, yet smooth on the palate. Flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and plum are supported by dusty tannins and subtle accents of cocoa, clove, and baking spice. A touch of Merlot in the blend adds plushness and roundness.

Finish:
Long and velvety, with lingering notes of dark fruit, toasted spice, and a hint of earthiness, making for a satisfying and well-rounded finish.

Overall Impression:
An impressive value Cabernet that over-delivers in richness and structure. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own. A go-to red for weeknight dinners or casual entertaining.
