The 2007 CAIN FIVE Red Table wine is bright, vibrant, and racy. TASTING NOTES: This wine is wild with zesty red fruit aromas and flavors. Enjoy it with grilled, lightly-seasoned lamb chops.

Winemaker Notes

Most wine lovers will consider 2007 the best vintage of the decade; certainly, it surpasses 1997. Cain Five is a true reflection, of the 2007 vintage—balanced ripeness, richness, and concentration. 2007 was one of the rare vintages that worked just as well on the mountain tops—such as our Cain Vineyard—and on the valley floor in our beloved benchlands. This is because almost everything was perfect: the vines yielded neither too much nor too little, the weather was neither too hot nor too cool, the ripening occurred neither too early nor too late.

Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc
