One of WineMaker magazine's top 100 wine kits for 2009.

Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet Sauvignon is the hearty red wine classic that lovers of fine Cabernet hunt down with passionate zeal: the king of red grapes in all its splendid glory. This Cabernet has the trademark black currant and cherry flavors, but its true triumph is the subtle weave of complex flavor compounds that contribute to the overall experience. Oak, tannins, pepper and spice combine structure and rich fruit for a red wine that will dazzle from first aroma to its long elegant finish. Food pairings: steak, roasts, spareribs, lamb, game dishes including pheasant and venison, both firm and hard cheeses.

Sweetness: Dry
Body: Medium-Full
Oak Intensity: Heavy

The 16 liters of regional varietal juice makes 6 gallons, providing approximately 30 bottles of wine. Extended aging in bottles will greatly enhance flavor.
