About this event

Event lasts 1 hour

California is renowned for its rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons. Different regions within California produce distinct styles. Expect a range of flavors depending on the specific region and vintage, but generally, the wines lean towards characteristics of dark fruit, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and sometimes hints of cedar or spice from oak aging. These wines are typically full-bodied with firm tannins, providing structure and aging potential.
