California
Embrace the artistry of winemaking in the food friendly, award-winning Grapheme Cabernet
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Grapheme
Cabernet Sauvignon
Printmaking and winemaking have a lot in common. Both take a combination of artistry, skill, and a drive for perfection. In both, a lot can go wrong, but real artisans turn out works worthy of our notice. Print Shop Cellars honors the hard work that goes into artistry of all types. In the Grapheme Cabernet Sauvignon, there are opulent notes of dark fruit that sit next to subtle tastes of herb. It’s a fantastic choice for pairing. We love the way that the bright fruit and earthy herbs pair with meats. Try pairing the Grapheme with an herbed pork tenderloin or barbecued chicken wings. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

TASTING NOTES:
Blackcurrant
Blackberry
Baking Spice
Modest ripeness at harvest ensures varietal expression of dark fruits and herbs, lively acid and ripe yet textured tannins. Warm fermentation allows deep color extraction, elevage in French oak adds clove and nutmeg notes.
