This Cabernet Sauvignon was inspired by the homestead settlers who found their way to California by stage coach. To this day, the 1871 “High Valley Stage” Road, which brought many settlers to Lake County, runs through the Shannon Ridge Mountain Estate Vineyards. Full-bodied and silky, with flavors of cherries, plum and spice, this wine celebrates the adventurous spirit of that time.
Our High Valley Cabernet Sauvignon starts with aromas of dried cherry, black pepper and cedar. The full-bodied flavors and textured finish are enhanced by notes of cherries, herbs, and toasted oak.
Crafted with grapes sourced from the Round Mtn. vineyard, this wine is brimming with lush apricot, pear and orange blossom aromas. On the palate, crisp grapefruit flavors are enhanced by herbal, citrus notes of lemongrass and a hint of fresh pineapple.
This is a wine of an intense violet color, with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, white chocolate and coconut, along with good ripe fruit such as plum and blackberry. An elegant wine in the mouth, ready to be enjoyed in good company.
