WINEMAKING
We looked to the vineyards of Lodi, California, specifically the east side, for Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe dark fruit notes and supple tannins. We made sure to gently harvest and transport the grapes to minimize bitterness. Once at the winery, the grapes are de-stemmed and fermented warm to extract color and flavor. Afterwards, the wine is racked and aged for up to one year in French and American oak.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Deep crimson in color, Lucky Star Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of blackberry and plum followed by hints of baking spice. Rich and round on the palate, the addition of Merlot adds a layer of ripe blueberry fruit and softens the tannins. Pair with roast chicken, grilled New York strip steak or wood-fired pizza with sausage.
