Cartlidge & Browne Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Cartlidge and Browne was established in the Spring of 1980 with a commitment to creating affordable Californian wines, especially for the sophisticated wine buyer. The wines in the C&B portfolio are well-balanced, appropriately tannic, lightly oaked and low in alcohol, perfect for food-friendly pairings.

“The question that begs to be answered is why so many producers ignore what Cartlidge and Browne does better than just about anybody else in the state, produce fruit forward, pure, varietally correct, delicious wines.” – Wine Advocate Magazine

Tasting Note:Cardinal red in colour, this striking Cabernet starts out with rich and delicious red fruits on the nose that grow into to ripe blackberry, watermelon, candied plum and crme brule. Between the tannins there are notes of coffee, rose petals and wet slate. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with a range of foods, from lamb and duck, to peppercorn steaks and barbecue chicken.
