The Rock Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Though best known for its Zinfandel, Lodi actually produces more Cabernet than does Napa. Lodi Cabernet are noted for their excellent fruit concentration - which one whiff of this rich Cabernet will attest to. The deep cassis and black and blue fruit notes are accented by woodsmoke and some dried herb tones. This beauty is fresh and smooth with superb replays - enjoy it with grilled lamb, steak or gourmet burgers. (VINTAGES panel, Oct. 2014)
