Winemaker Notes

Cabernet Sauvignon is best known for making suave and courtly wines in Napa and Bordeaux, the best of which are renowned for their class and longevity. However, this red—the only wine we import made from 100% Cabernet—comes not from the left bank of Bordeaux but from Pic Saint-Loup in the Languedoc. Accordingly, it produces a very different bottle of wine, a country quaffer that is so lithe, pure, and unadorned you’ll have finished the bottle before even considering such matters as complexity, ageability, or anything else serious.

Importer Notes

Cyriaque Rozier’s Bordeaux-meets-Languedoc red wears the basic Pays d’Oc appellation for bureaucratic reasons only—Cabernet Sauvignon is not permitted by local A.O.C. regulations. In all other ways, it is remarkable, beginning with a vivid crimson robe and aromas of raspberries and hot stones. Fifty-year-old Cabernet vines, tended with organic and biodynamic methods, yield soft, ripe red fruit with a hint of glycerine richness followed by a finish that is wonderfully dry and chalky, speaking to the vineyard’s limestone-based terroir.
