St. Colleen takes pride in this elegant, supple, and approachable style of Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a reflection of the unique qualities of our vineyard as well as specialized winemaking techniques that emphasize fruitiness. To make the wine even more enticing,  a variety of Bordeaux varieties were blended in to broaden the flavor spectrum, adding deeper structure to the Cabernet. For instance, Cabernet Franc typically has bright cherry flavors and chalky tannins, a perfect compliment to the blend.

This Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed now in its youth or cellared for several years for additional complexity. In its youth, this wine would be best paired with a full-bodied meal. How about marinating a steak overnight in a mixture of last-nights red wine, crushed black and pink peppercorns and a touch of garlic? For a less time-consuming dish, try beef ribs and mashed potatoes.
