Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Information

Cabernet Sauvignon is the primary wine made at Wing Canyon. We always blend the cabernet with varying amounts of estate Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The resulting wines are packed with flavors of dark red fruit (cherries, raspberries, plums and currants), hints of Mt. Veeder chaparral and spice with firm, ripe tannins.
