Clos du Bois Cabernet Sauvignon V19 750ML
Our classic Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of black currant, blackberry and toasted oak. Concentrated black fruit and a smooth texture lead to a complex and slightly dry finish. The wine pairs perfectly with your favorite grilled meats or veggies.
Our 2021 Clos du Bois Pinot Noir is an approachable, medium-bodied red wine from California. Aromas of cherry and vanilla bean rise from the glass with a touch of anise. This wine brims with layers of sweet cherry, strawberry and raspberry with a silky mouthfeel. Ribbons of toasted oak and caramel underscore the fruit, leading to a long finish.

<b>Viticulture Notes</b><br>
This elegant Pinot Noir is sourced from select vineyards in some of California’s most renowned growing regions. The 2021 growing season experienced a warm spring, which brought on early budbreak. Dry conditions served to further reduce crops size. However, anticipated diurnal temperature shifts kept the fruit from ripening too quickly and allowed it to develop slowly and evenly.
<br><br>
<b>Winemaking Notes</b><br>
We prefer to harvest our Pinot Noir in the cool early morning hours, which helps preserve the inherent fruit character of the grapes. After it is delivered to the winery, we gently destem and send mostly whole berries directly to stainless steel fermenters to be cold soaked at 60-65°F for up to 2 days. During primary fermentation, we meticulously managed the extraction on skins to capture a silky tannin structure. To create subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak, we racked the wine onto oak and let it age for 3-4 months. Individual lots were then chosen and combined to create the final blend.

Clos du Bois Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon V18 750ML
Our Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, full-bodied wine from vineyards known for producing exceptional Cabernet. Rich aromas of brambleberry and black plum rise from the glass with underlying notes of shaved dark chocolate. The palate echoes the nose, along with notes of toasted oak and pie spice.

The 2018 growing season in Alexander Valley experienced warm temperatures in February, which led to early budbreak. Fruit set happened without incident and once the typical diurnal temperature shifts returned, the fruit developed fully and achieved optimal ripeness. Overall, harvest 2018 produced excellent quality grapes with optimal flavor concentration and deep color.

<b>Viticulture Notes:</b><br>
The fruit for our Merlot originated from sun-drenched vineyards in California’s Central Valley. The 2021 vintage experienced ongoing dry conditions in the state. A mild summer helped increase hangtime, resulting in optimal ripening and an excellent vintage overall.
<br><br>
<b>Winemaking Notes:</b><br>
To preserve fruit characteristics and create a soft mouthfeel, we aged our Merlot on oak for 3-4 months.
