About Estate: Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Sonoma County in Northern California where there is one hundred and fifty years of wine making history. Sonoma County is known for its excellence in creating some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon Wines in the world. A lesser known statistic is that Sonoma red wines win more awards than Napa reds.
Food Pairing: This Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed with a wide variety of foods including filet mignon, blue cheese and creamy pasta dishes. Sonoma reds wines, and in particular Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon wines win more awards than their chief rival, Napa Valley Wines, and given the high quality of many of wineries in the Napa Valley that really says a lot.
