Caparone Cabernet Sauvignon

From our first vintage in 1979 our Cabernet Sauvignon has been one of our most popular wines. We strive to make a classic Cabernet: rich, dense and well balanced with great structure, fruit and varietal character; a wine which will develop in the bottle for many years. As with our other wines, oak flavor is minimized and the alcohol level is moderate. A real ‘food wine’, our Cabernet compliments hearty cuisine and has been served at some of the finest restaurants in the US. Recent tastings of the 1979 and early 80's Cabernets demonstrate the wonderful longevity of this wine -- a result of our traditional minimalist winemaking and careful attention to detail. Our grapes come from the French Camp Vineyard in Paso Robles, which is located at the eastern edge of the appellation, near the Temblor mountain range.
