Introduction:
The 2024 Ultraviolet Cabernet Sauvignon from California is a vibrant, approachable New World cabernet that blends California fruit intensity with balanced structure. Crafted with a core of cabernet sauvignon and a small portion of cabernet franc, it delivers expressive dark berry fruit framed by spice and velvety tannins. This wine is designed to be both enjoyable on its own and versatile with a range of foods.

Terrior:
Sourced primarily from vineyards in the Red Hills AVA in Lake County — known for its red volcanic soils and elevated sites — this cabernet benefits from excellent drainage and warm days followed by cool nights. The cabernet franc comes from Coombsville in Napa Valley, adding aromatic nuance. The region’s terroir fosters ripe fruit and refreshing acidity that define this wine’s lively character. 

Tasting notes:
The 2024 Ultraviolet Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of  cabernet sauvignon sourced from Lake County's Red Hills AVA and a small amount of cabernet franc from Napa's Coombsville AVA. Medium- to full-bodied and lushly textured, it has aromas of black and red fruits and flavors of blueberries, blackberries, and plums laced with subtle notes of baking spices, violets, savory herbs, and brambly earth. Vibrant acidity adds lift and balance without taking away from the wine's plush mouthfeel and brings it to a long, juicy finish. 

Recommended Food Pairings:
Meat Dish: Grilled ribeye with cracked pepper, slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, or BBQ beef brisket.
Vegetarian Option: Portobello mushroom steaks with balsamic glaze, roasted vegetable ragout, or black bean and roasted corn enchiladas.
Cheese / Charcuterie Pairing: Aged cheddar, Manchego, dry‑aged salami, smoked provolone, or herbed goat cheese.

Overall Impression:
The 2024 Ultraviolet Cabernet Sauvignon is a fruit‑forward yet structured California wine that delivers ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, and balanced acidity. Its blend of Old World nuance and New World fruit makes it versatile at the table and easy to enjoy now — a great everyday cabernet with approachable depth and character.
