Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
A blend of seven different grape varietals. Smooth in character, soft in tannins and acids with fruity aromas and berry flavors. Although Rad Red does not have the pedigree of our Cabernets and Merlot you will find it delightful when you want a light, semi-dry easy drinking red. We named this wine in memory of our dear friend Johnny Radebaugh (1942-1998). A portion of the proceeds from each bottle will be donated to cancer reasearch.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
