Roth Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

The Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. Aged for 14 months in about 25% new American oak with the remainder in neutral oak, this wine showcases winemaker Michael Beaulac’s preference for American oak, which he says adds sweetness and roundness. The result is a ripe, bright wine with pure red berry fruit and sweet cedar and sandalwood aromas. On the medium-bodied palate, layers of toasty cedar, fennel, hints of red liquorice, and vanilla contribute to a long and satisfying finish.

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.
