Big Smooth Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi 2016 750 ML

Introduction

This Big Smooth Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with bright aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry jam, black currant and notes of brown spice. This is a big, rich and juicy wine where the nose rings true on the lush palate filled with enticing fruit flavors of plum and briar patch as well as notes of leather, dried herb and spice. The judicious use of oak delivers a well-integrated toasty character throughout the wine and lends a rich, smooth texture. This is a powerful wine with ripe, well-integrated and incredibly smooth tannins which lead to a lingering and flavorful finish. Producer Information Big Smooth wines are sourced from premier vineyards in Lodi, California, nestled between the Sierra Foothills and the San Francisco Bay area, where rich, bold wines are known to thrive. Our approach to winemaking is to make a big, fruit-forward wine that finishes smooth and satisfying. Crafting Big Smooth wines involves walking a tightrope between developing a full-bodied wine with a satin finish. We allow our grapes to achieve high sugar levels so the tannins in the skin soften. We age our wines in a combination of American, French, and Hungarian oak that adds complexity and lends seductive vanilla and coconut notes. This fine balance between fruit and aging is how we truly achieve wines worthy of bottling for Big Smooth.
