Our Chalone Vineyard 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon from Monterey County is powerful yet perfectly approachable. Full-bodied with aromas of berry jam and cocoa, it is rich with juicy blackberry flavors and notes of vanilla/oak, which give it richness and complexity. The wine has nicely balanced tannins and acidity and a medium long finish that allows you to keep enjoying this wine long after it has left the glass. Perfect for the classic pairing of California Cabernet and steak, this wine is also delicious with rich stews and pastas, game meats and lamb.
