A concentrated wine with excellent density of fruit. Full of rich, ripe berry fruit notes on the palate, this Cabernet has a long, velvety finish.

Big and generous, this full bodied wine nicely integrates ripe black-cherry and black-plum flavors with light baking-spice accents from oak aging. It is rich but subtle, moderately tannic and well concentrated.
The Simple Grape uses high quality, sustainably grown California grapes to craft wines without added sugars or artificial ingredients.
The Simple Grape aims to be radically transparent. All the information you need is on the front label, so you can feel good enjoying a glass while knowing exactly what is in the bottle.
The Simple Grape is proud to be sourced from Certified Sustainable vineyards, certified by Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing. The vineyards from which they source their wines have committed to sustainable winegrowing requirements based upon industry best practices. These include, protecting ecosystems and wildlife habitats, preserving natural resources (like water conservation), as well committing to be good partners to their employees and within their community.
A portion of profits from the wines are donated to the Pollinator Partnership, whose mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research.
Covering the most vine acreage in the state compared to any other red wine variety, Cabernet Sauvignon produces as much wine in California as Merlot and Pinot Noir combined. The state’s diverse terrain and microclimates, as well as the freedom of its winemakers, allow for an incredible range of wine styles from this single grape.
California’s most famous region—and especially for Cabernet Sauvignon—is the acclaimed Napa Valley. While Cabernet is successful throughout the world, rarely has it achieved such merit as it does from the Napa Valley. At this point the two are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other.
Napa’s closest neighbor, Sonoma County, does an impressive job keeping up with Napa’s fame and glory. Alexander Valley, Sonoma Mountain, Moon Mountain and Knights Valley contribute to the lot of some of California’s top-rated Cabernet Sauvignon.
Lake County in California’s North Coast has become a focus for some of Napa’s more respected growers. From the Central Coast come iconic examples of classic California Cabernet; Lodi and the Sierra Foothills are great budget-friendly sources of amicable Cabernets.
