North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine has been cultivated since 1961 and was the first Cabernet Sauvignon of its kind. Its quality is due to its cultivation in Sonoma County (Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley). Italian immigrant Samuele Sebastiani arrived in California in the late 19th century and quickly became known in Sonoma for his high-quality wines made from a wide range of internationally recognized grape varieties. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are specialties of the region. Sebastiani can also be called a pioneer of Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma. It was the first winery to be planted with Cabernet Sauvignon.

The grapes are harvested at night and cold-soaked on the skins for three days. They are then crushed, and fermentation begins at a relatively high temperature in stainless steel tanks to extract as much flavor as possible. After pressing, the wine is blended and aged in new and used French, Hungarian, and American oak barrels.

Dry Cabernet Sauvignon from California (North Coast) pairs beautifully with grilled beef steak, roast lamb, or braised beef ragù. It also complements hard cheeses such as Cheddar or Gouda, as well as vegetable dishes like roasted eggplant or grilled vegetables. Its full-bodied structure and balanced tannins make it an ideal match for spicy dishes or game as well.

A pioneer in winemaking in Sonoma County since 1904. Today, Sebastiani is one of the highest-rated and most award-winning producers in all of California.
