Ariel Cabernet Sauvignon

VARIETAL: Cabernet Sauvignon offers all of the benefits of a red wine, with less than half of one percent alcohol. The grapes were grown in San Luis Obispo County, a region of California known for producing high quality fruit. WINEMAKING: Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented and aged in the traditional red wine method: fermentation is done in stainless steel cooperage on the skins at temperatures above 75F (24C). After fermentation, the wine is separated from the skins and a portion is moved into a combination of French and American oak barrels for extended aging. Just prior to bottling, the alcohol is gently removed by cold filtration. WINEMAKER NOTES: The Wine is rich in color and flavor, oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of blueberries, blackberries, black pepper and chocolate, with a hint of toasty oak, soft tannins and a dry finish. At its optimum maturity eighteen months after bottling, it can be enjoyed immediately or held for up to five to seven years before enjoying. Serv
