Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon was born, celebrating the bonanza or fortune to be found in our great state. As Chuck Wagner puts it, We are proud to be making this multi-vintage California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon. Do you have any idea how much fun this is for a seasoned winemaker? Bonanza calls back to a simpler time, and Chuck's hope is that it will invite people to enjoy good wine as a simple pleasure of everyday life.

It's made from the bonanza of our great state vineyard sites that hold potential to produce good Cabernet but are often overlooked. Medium ruby red, this wine opens with scents of currants and dried roses, grape pomace and fresh tilled soil. The nose is nuanced with toasty oak imparting a subtle smoked meat character. Flavors of blueberries and blackberries mix with the warmth of vanilla and toasted bread. Silky tannins and striking smoothness. Mouthwatering, lengthy finish trails off with the taste of unsweetened chocolate and cassis.
