Cannonball Cabernet Sauvignon California 2009 750ml

On the nose, the wine opens up to bright, dark, red cherry, cocoa, and a hint of toast. The balance in the mouth is exceptional from front to finish. Gorgeous strawberry, blueberry and red apple dipped in dark chocolate, all spice, and a soft layer of toasted oak. Tannins are structured but not overwhelming. The acidity is well balanced. 

 

I tend to be very critical of my winemaking but this wine is really beautiful on all fronts - great flavors, layers of complexity, amzaing texture, and Cannonball's signature smooth, long finish. I hope you will be as excited as I am about the 2009 Cannonball Cabernet Sauvignon. -Dennis Hill, Winemaker
