World Wine 2003 Averill Lake Cabernet Sauvignon

California Averill Lake Cabernet Sauvignon is named for the winemaker s favorite place in the world. Although the appellation on the bottle is California, this wine is a very limited production made predominantly from ultra-high-quality Carneros fruit. Averill Lake Cabernet Sauvignon is deep crimson red in color with a perfumed nose of blackberry, cherry, plum, vanilla, spice, and herbal notes. Dry, medium-full-bodied, with moderate acidity, this Cab offers flavors of blackberry, plum, black currant, vanilla and floral notes. It was aged 18-24 months in small oak barrels. Structured and complex, it is rich and complex, and long on the finish. Enjoy Averill Lake Cabernet Sauvignon with filet mignon, pork tenderloin, and hearty tomato based pasta dishes.
