Cabernet Sauvignon

CALISTOGA DISTRICT
Napa Valley
$53.60 CLUB

This Calistoga District Cabernet is full of multi-layered deliciousness. You’ll adore the compote fruit flavors laced with spiced leather, chocolate, and marzipan oak character. A celebration-favorite when paired with herb-spiced turkey and cranberries or grilled pork loin with apricot chutney.

    Rockerbox Vineyard, Calistoga District
