2012 Downton Abbey Countess of Grantham Cabernet Sauvignon 750 mL

For the new collection, we sought a New World winemaking partner skilled in blending time-honored winemaking practices with new world innovation.  Our search led us to a multigenerational, family-owned winery in Lodi, California (one of the state’s most historic winegrowing regions). Here, Winemaker Karen Birmingham sources exceptional fruit from sustainably-farmed, estate-grown vineyards, and brings classic techniques plus state of the art winemaking to the table.  The resulting wines are fruit forward, varietally expressive and imminently quaffable.
