WOW: Wine of the Week

New Year, New Products:
C & B Reserve Cabernet, Value from Alexander Valley!

 

C & B Reserve Cabernet

Finally!  The pressure is off:  Uncorked has found not only a tremendous value in this week's WOW, but also our new favorite house wine!

C  & B Reserve Cabernet hails from Alexander Valley as the second, Reserve label of Cartlidge & Brown.  Did we mention that it is UNDER $17 per bottle?! At that price, we are going to be drinking this on a daily basis!

Please note the updated shipping details below.

Product Description

"Named for pioneer Alexander Cyrus, this appellation is located at the northern end of Sonoma County and runs 22 miles long, varying in width from two to seven miles. The area’s rugged terrain is recognized as one of the New World’s premier growing regions for Bordeaux  varietals. The warmer inland temperatures of this mountainous region are cooled at night by the maritime air that flows from the coast up the Russian River, which winds from the north to the south of Alexander Valley. This daily convergence of temperatures creates a myriad of varying microclimates ideal for this variety, as world-class Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thrive along the rolling hillsides and all the way up the mountain ridges. The soil is shallow and rocky, adding impressive depth and concentration to the character of this variety." - Winery Notes

C & B Reserve Cabernet 2008 Tasting Notes

"Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a very approachable wine, with silky-soft, well-integrated tannins. This is a lovely, food-friendly wine, having incredible balance of fruit, tannins and acidity. The aroma/palate profile presents: Dark Cherry, Toasted French Vanilla, Casis and Anise, with subtle undertones of coco and native lavender."  - Winery Notes 

C & B Reserve Cabernet 2008 Pairings

It is a wine that pairs tremendously well with the richest game, such as venison or boar, and equally well with any but the spiciest preparations of beef or lamb.
