Wines By The Bottle - California Cabernet Sauvignon

California “Cab” is one of the true pleasures of dining. The offerings produced throughout the Wine Country range from soft and easy to drink to top-level wines that will age for many years. This broad range of style allows us to be creative with the wines we have chosen. It is an eclectic mix of “Benchmark” Wineries and “new kids on the block.”
