A native of the Bay Area, Kent caught the wine bug as a foreign exchange student, fortuitously with a winemaking family in Germany then took it to the next level by enrolling in the enology program at Cal Davis. After graduation, he worked at Mondavi, Domaine Chandon, Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery in South Africa, and Saltram's in Australia's Barossa Valley, before starting his own Ramsay winery in 1986. This Cab which includes 5% Petite Sirah, is sourced from established vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi and Paso Robles. Aromas of cassis, and toasted hazelnut with a hint of smoke lead to a full bodied palate of dark ripe berries, clove and vanilla with round tannins on a velvety finish. At 13.5%abv, this is a great quality price, textbook CA Cab that pairs perfectly with smashburgers or the Verde Burrito at Los Burritos Juarez, our awesome neighbors!
