Jeb Dunnuck 89 Points | Coming from multiple sites throughout the Central Coast, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a juicy, medium-bodied, nicely balanced style in its ripe cherry and plum fruit as well as notes of ripe herbs and chocolate. It's a terrific value that brings plenty of classic Cabernet style. (2021).
Erin Brooks writes: The 2022 Fundamental Cabernet Sauvignon is scented of red and black cherries and nuances of allspice, milk chocolate, tobacco and cedar. The medium-bodied palate is approachable and easygoing, with an alluring combination of concentrated, spicy fruit and savory tones. It finishes with satisfying freshness. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Choose when time is of the essence
An ideal house Cabernet. Sourcing grapes from different regions can result in a complex enjoyable wine and here is a good example. Warm climate Cabernet Sauvignon tend to bring power, blue, black and plum flavors to the wine. Cooler climate Cabernet’s tend to lean toward brightness and more savory notes. This has the best of both worlds, medium to full-bodied, texture and fruit without being to excessive.
