Flavor Profile
After years of unbearable puzzling, the California grower behind this delicious Cabernet finally solved his vineyard mystery. Each growing season, he noticed whole bunches of Merlot disappearing from his vines. He finally put up a security camera and discovered a family of bears eating the grapes. Because the Merlot ripened first, the bears gobbled those grapes all up, leaving the grower only his Cabernet Sauvignon.
When our California expert went hunting for a fabulous Cabernet, she was impressed with the grower’s fruit quality…and even more charmed by the story. Left unoaked to allow its pure fruit flavors to shine, the wine was named CA-BEAR-NAY in honor of those pesky bears. Since the first release, it’s won some serious acclaim—and the 2021 edition is no exception. At the Sunset International Wine Competition, it earned 91 points and a gold medal.
Look forward to an exuberant, black-fruit core, with ripe tannins and a lush, juicy mouthfeel. A tasty match for barbecue or hearty stews, this is also smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
Order your bottles today, then tell guests the amazing story as you pour. That is, if you can bear to share this luscious Cab.
