Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon

Bold, Silky, and Elegantly Layered

With its rich fruit-forward profile, this wine showcases the signature flavors of blueberry, blackberry jam, and dark plum, all supported by soft, fine tannins that provide a plush and luxurious mouthfeel. A small addition of Zinfandel adds complexity, bringing layers of cherry, dark fruit, and a subtle hint of spice, while selective oak aging imparts smooth notes of vanilla on the finish.

This vintage offers a uniquely approachable and balanced Cabernet, perfect for any wine lover looking for depth and complexity with a smooth finish.
