Cabernet Sauvignon
Given 96 Points, a Double Gold medal, and called "Best of Class" the Sunscript is a massive hit, especially at the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted grape in the world. “King Cab” they call it. A bold, domineering grape that brings strong flavor and hardy structure. People love it, and it’s converted red wine skeptics to true believers after just one sip. Cabernet takes well to new soils and can become brilliant with the right conditions. The 2016 growing season was perfect for Cabernet. Warm days and cool nights let the farmers keep the grapes hanging on the vines until they were plump and ripe with flavor. With a big front flavor of sweet dark fruit and a plump finish, the Sunscript 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a celebration of the king of grapes.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Lodi](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/2745/normal/California_Central_Valley.png?1616011053)
Lodi
The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.

Its no surprise this vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon presents ripe, dark fruit and vanilla notes from time in French Oak. Full-bodied with sweet fruit, a creamy texture, softer tannins and refined notes of blackberries and cherries finish on the palate.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
![large bunches of red grapes on the vine](/static/1194e56820adfeee543f9cb0c258b6e1/524cb/grapes-1.jpg)
Sunscript
Grapevines gracefully dance towards the warm sun and stretch their roots deep, chasing water — the very essence of life. All the while, complex characteristics are developed and, in turn, reflected in each bottle of wine. Like a fine manuscript, Sunscript celebrates the beautiful relationship between the sun and the vines, encouraging them to write their next chapter with each vintage.
