Late ripening berries that give high sugar content and dark fruit flavors to the wine they make, “Cab.

Potent and flavorful a classic and a favorite here at 4 Whistles Winery.
Large berries have high juice yield, giving this wine a light floral palette as well as a great capacity to enhance other varietal characteristics in a blend.
Small berries with thick skin produce dark fruit flavors and full bodied strong flavored wines. Usually associated with dark fruit and rich earthy flavors, “Cab. Sauv” is one of the worlds most popular wine varietals.
