Cabernet Sauvignon

Our newest Beaucanon Estate‘s single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from our Longwood ranch, located a stone’s throw east of the famous Oak Knoll AVA in Napa, is a fine example of New World fruit coupled with Old World Wine making techniques. Crafted in Bordeaux style, intense notes of blackberry, cassis and bing cherries dominate the bouquet followed by layers of tobacco and toasted New French Oak.
