Winemaker Notes

Bonanza is a California Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks to the simple pleasures of day-to-day life. Created by Chuck Wagner of Caymus Vineyards, this wine is delicious, accessible and enjoyable over a meal. It’s made from the “bonanza” of our great state – vineyard sites that hold potential to produce good Cabernet but are often overlooked. Features flavors of luscious fruit, dark chocolate and silky tannins.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this medium ruby-red wine beckons with an alluring depth of color, reminiscent of the sun setting over the California horizon. The aromatic experience is a captivating symphony, starting with notes of sun-drenched currants, delicate dried roses, and hints of earthy grape pomace. As you delve deeper, the scent of freshly tilled soil evokes images of the rich California terroir.

The palate unfolds with an orchestra of flavors. Ripe blackberry and black currant take center stage, creating a melody of fruity richness. Subtle harmonies of vanilla and spice weave through the composition, adding layers of complexity. The full-bodied nature of the wine provides a luxurious experience, and its velvety texture, coupled with silky tannins, invites a slow, contemplative sipping journey.
