Wine Details
Wonderful aromatics of sugar plums, red fruits, and cassis emerge from the glass, with waves of cedar haloed by crushed florals and cinnamon spice. You just might find your nose buried in the glass so long that you need reminding to actually take a sip! Once you do take the plunge, you’ll discover an incredibly quaffable red wine with small, firm tannins, perfectly balanced acidity, and a mouthwatering dry finish that screams for more. An excellent example of mid-to-full bodied Santa Barbara fruit.

Lot 735 comes to us from a beautiful estate, produced from high-elevation vineyards by the deft hands of a winemaker with both French and American training who has received glowing praise, top scores, and gold medals year after year. Word on the street is that 2018 has the potential to be the best Santa Barbara vintage for a decade, and at $16, this wine is priced for less than half the tasting room price!

More like a pinot - great value
I felt this drank more like a good pinot. Smooth and light. But enjoyable and a great buy at $16!!

Okay but not my favorite CH cab
A lighter style of Cab. Not one my faves of the many CH cabs I have sampled. Still a good wine at the price point

Great Value Cab
Was happy to see a SB Cab on the site. Amazing value. Had a different mouth feel compared to the Napa cabs we've bought here but was not light on taste.

easy drinking cab
Would not use big to describe this cab. Smooth seems more appropriate. A nice balanced easy drinking cab.

Classic Cab!
This appellation produces some great Cabs. I have bought this with every CH Wine order I have placed. The Cabernet is nicely balanced with just enough fruit taste up front. The balance between acidity and tannin is a bit off with this batch but still is a great value for money. This Cabernet is good value for money, and very complementary with some pork loin cuts, spicy potatoes and sauteed string beans.
