Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage Year
Origin
- France
Characteristics
- Cabernet Sauvignon always has strong tannin, full body, dark color, and that same black currant
fruit. When grown and made well, Cabernet Sauvignon can age for decades, taking on layers of
pencil shavings, graphite, cedar, tobacco, leather, and comforting baking spices.
Syrah
Vintage Year
Origin
- France
Characteristics
- Syrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper
spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World
regions like Australia, Syrah might be called Shiraz. Whatever the name, Syrah/Shiraz offers a
style for everyone.
Zinfandel
Vintage Year
Origin
- Croatia
Characteristics
- The late-ripening red Zinfandel wine produces a jammy flavor bursting with fruity aromas of
blackberry, cherry, plums, black pepper, and cinnamon with varying levels of oak. A fuller bodied
wine that is high in alcohol content, Zinfandel is known for its fruity meets spicy kick with a
smoky body.

Chardonnay is aged in oak barrels, it will have a creamier texture and buttery taste with hints of
vanilla and spice.
