Tasting Notes

Rich and bold, the Santa Margarita Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of smoky oak, reminiscent of the sun-kissed vineyards along the Santa Margarita River. On the palate, layers of ripe plum, cassis, and a touch of espresso mingle with soft, velvety tannins, leading to a long, luxurious finish. Subtle notes of cocoa and leather add complexity, making this wine perfect for aging or enjoying now with hearty meats and artisanal cheeses.

Food Pairing Notes

One of our favorite blocks from the Fallbrook Cellars vineyard. This block tends to lift the aromatic character and soften the palate of our Cabernet Sauvignon. We are proud to offer this very limited and barrel selected wine as a stand alone block.

Winemaker Notes

Deep garnet with a vibrant ruby edge, velvety soft on the palate with bright cherry to plum flavors. This wine is weighty and full of fresh ripe berries with rich, dark accents of cocoa nib. Intriguing and delicious.

Aromas of dark chocolate, plum, black cherry, cedar and tarragon jump from the glass.
