2020 Edgewater Cabernet Sauvignon Monterey County

If you enjoy an “Old World” style of red wine, then this Edgewater Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect for your palate. Dark ruby hues hint at the fruit-forward aroma of black and red currant. Vegetal notes of green bell pepper and thyme accentuate subtle earthiness and a slight kiss of chocolate. Firm tannins and medium acids complement the rustic nose to round out a long, pleasant finish. Wine grapes have called Monterey County home for over 200 years, dating back to the arrival of Franciscan friars in Soledad. Sweltering afternoons and cool evenings combine to impart intense flavor in these red grapes, while cooling maritime breezes imbue bright, tart acidity to complete a layered flavor profile. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs with a wide variety of rich entreés like glazed butternut squash and slow-roasted beef tenderloin with roasted potatoes.
