Shannon Ridge High Elevation Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished wine from Lake County, California. This carefully crafted wine blends grapes from three distinct appellations within Lake County: High Valley contributes bright red fruit and structured tannins, Red Hills Appellation provides lush, ripe fruit characteristics, and Big Valley adds complexity and textural depth.

The wine displays a deep crimson to dark ruby color and opens with enticing aromas of dark chocolate, plum, cranberry, cassis, ripe Bing cherry, and blackberry. The palate reveals flavors of blackberry, black cherry, black currant, and spice, with subtle hints of tobacco, mocha coffee, anise, vanilla, and pie spices. This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon wraps delicious dark fruit flavors in moderate, well-structured tannins, balanced by toasted oak notes that lead to a smooth and refined finish.

The Lake County High Elevation Collection showcases the unique terroir of this warm inland region north of Napa Valley, where volcanic and obsidian-based soils contribute to the wine's distinctive character. This wine pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and hard cheeses.
