winemaker's notes:
In France, the local bistro is where folks go to relax, socialize, drink wine and dine in a casual,
friendly setting. This Cabernet Sauvignon has all the right qualities of a good bistro wine: it is
simple, delicious and pairs well with many foods and flavors. In making this wine, low-yield
vines are carefully selected and hand-tended with minimal interference, allowing for the
natural ripening of the grapes. This careful attention yields a Cabernet Sauvignon that is rich
and full-bodied.
This stylish wine shows bright plum and black currant aromas accompanied by distinctive
notes of vanilla. Ripe tannins lead to a long, velvety finish. The different soils of the vineyard
sources (clay and limestone in Limoux and gravel in the Gard) add complexity and richness to
the wine. Enjoy it paired with tomato-based dishes, hearty pastas, grilled beef tenderloin and
hard, aged cheeses.
