This is what drew me into the Fresno State wine club to begin with... a perfectly crafted Cabernet engineered to showcase the San Joaquin Valley terroir rather than an attempt to ape the homogenized pseudo-Napa style so beloved by big corporate wineries. It is a big but subtle wine, with creamy mouthfeel and bright cherry and red currant flavors. Bravo to the students for crafting this excellent cocktail quaffer! πŸ˜ΌπŸ·πŸŽ‰

This is a slightly jammy, medium bodied Cabernet with chalky tannins and dark currant flavors.

A bright and medium bodied with, this Cab is cherry and strawberry flavors, with a little tannic chewiness to the finish. A great Summer cocktail wine.

Salinity, blueberry, and smooth tannin. A nice surprise.
