The Independence Point Cabernet is drawn from vineyards in Monterey County and Lodi and is a great value among California Cabernet bottlings. The nose shows luscious ripe blackberry and black cherry fruits backed by hints of mint, cocoa, and vanilla. Smooth and velvety on the palate, it offers layers of plush, ripe black fruits plus toasty oak, vanilla, cocoa and mint elements. It’s a lovely combination of richness and refreshment offered at a price that makes it a deliciously enjoyable everyday red.
