2016 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma County, California

Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon is a legendary red wine gem from Sonoma. The Sonoma Estates Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of fruit from vineyard sites in the Sonoma Valley, Knights Valley and Alexander Valley AVAs. The Knights Valley fruit lends the wine structure and power. Sonoma Valley fruit offers ripe red fruit flavors and plush texture, while Alexander Valley provides blue fruit and black tea.

Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc crafted by winemaker Kristina Shideler. It offers layered aromas of black cherry and blackberry compote, followed by decadent undertones of caramel and chai tea. It is bright and juicy on the palate, complemented with a plush and velvety texture. This well-balanced and elegant Cabernet is very versatile and can be paired with anything from casual pub fare to a classic ribeye. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (30% new, primarily French).

"While created by Richard Arrowood, this estate was purchased by Kendall-Jackson and the wines are made today by Kristina Shideler, who took over from Heidi von der Mehden in 2015. These are classic, impeccably made, and age-worthy wines." - Jeb Dunnuck, Brilliance From Sonoma, 6/5/2018
