About the wine
Smooth and stunning world-class Cabernet from a legendary California winemaker
- David’s 91-point award-winning Cabernet is a rich California classic, jam-packed with powerfully stunning dark fruit flavors of juicy plums, ripe cherries and toasty, soul-warming spices from decadent barrel-aging in French and American oak.
- This world-class Cab is a potent blend of impeccable fruit from Lodi and Clarksburg. David’s been a champion of these two standout regions in California's Central Valley since the beginning – when Robert Mondavi set out to elevate the region’s wines back in the day, David was his right-hand man…
- ...now he makes the region’s richest, most sumptuous Cabernets just for you. Treat yourself to a bottle of hallmark Cab from your very own winemaking icon – you’ve earned every drop!
Best before
A Cab this refined and mighty will age gracefully for years to come.
Serving advice
Let it air out and breathe for around an hour after first opening your bottle to get the full richness and depth of this Cab's flavors.
Food match
David says his preferred pairing with this Cab is a fully-loaded burger and Sunday football.
Contains sulphites
