The Livermore Valley is noted for deep, gravelly soils – a perfect environment for fine Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The 2018 Bo Ventura de Caires Cabernet shows the balance and finesse emblematic of Livermore Valley fruit. The aromas show black cherry, black currant and blackberry fruit backed by hints of red cherry, vanilla and baking spice. It has a bright style with a rich texture on the palate and offers layers of black fruits underlain by floral, vanilla and spice tones.
