Cabernet Sauvignon

Hickory Hill Vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a French oak-aged, dry, red wine with typical black fruit notes. It has a pleasantly long finish. Our Cabernet Sauvignon leans toward old-world style in that it is more earthy and less jammy than the new-world style. This makes it a great choice for sipping with a charcuterié board or a nice steak. It has earned the most medals in wine competitions for us from the very first vintage (2001) to bringing home Gold four years in a row.

Favorite Pairings: steak, steak, portabella mushroom steak, did we mention steak?

The numbers: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 0.0% Residual Sugar

Cabernet Sauvignon History

Hickory Hill Vineyard’s Cabernet Sauvignon is another one of the original six wines that Roger and Judy Furrow crafted nearly two decades ago. It does well at Hickory Hill Vineyards. It likes our long hot summers and if mother nature cooperates and we are not hit by a hurricane or tropical storm at harvest, it ripens well. The way we make this one has changed little in two decades- very dry, usually 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and French oak-aged with minimal handling in the winery. Our reds will often have sediment, especially since we are slow to release them, letting them tell us when they are ready.
