337 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006

337 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006


Named for the French vine clone, 337 is a California Cabernet Sauvignon with prestigious Bordeaux roots. The grapes are grown in Lodi’s Clay Station Vineyard in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The wine has a deep ruby-red color and the nose is packed with black fruit, spice and floral notes. This is a medium bodied wine with concentrated blackberry, cassis and mocha. There are ample tannins and acidity to create a lingering and harmonious finish. This is a nice value California Cabernet Sauvignon that pairs well with a steak of the grill or a spicy pasta dish. We enjoyed this $15 wine with my Penne with Meatballs and Marjoram and Marinara.
