Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon The Magnificent Seven 2022 750ml

The Magnificent 7 is an annual challenge to ourselves to see what we can achieve. It’s the interplay of weather, vineyards, clones, and the hard work of our team. The label features a “7” scrawled by each of us. Magnificent 7 is our most refined Cabernet Sauvignon, the most complex and finessed in the cellar. A barrel selection from three vineyards, it is blended to have an ethereal quality on the palate. The wine is named for The Clash’s 1980 anti-conformity anthem and Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 epic The Seven Samurai, in which villagers realize they must band together and collaborate to defeat marauding bandits.

Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
