Bear Flag Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 750 ML

Packed with an abundance of fruit character, Bear Flag Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of black raspberries, red cherry jam and dried fruit. Silky smooth on your tongue, things get interesting when subtle layers of clove, cedar, luscious butterscotch and cocoa kick in. \n \n Producer Information \n Having now worked more than 20 vintages in the vineyards of California, Aaron Piotter is excited by his next adventure as winemaker for Bear Flag. A deeply personal project, Bear Flag allows Aaron to represent Sonoma, his hometown, with perhaps the its best-known variety. He understands the dynamic growing region and what it takes to craft a truly authentic California Zinfandel. “California’s remarkable, persistent heat and cooler nights push Zinfandel into the ripe, jammy berry spectrum. This region is known for making amazing Zinfandel, and some of the top, if not the best, wineries who specialize in this variety are in Sonoma County,” he says. Aaron and his wife love going on adventures with their two children, who were both born in Sonoma, and are excited for their local roots to continue spreading. With his family still residing in Sonoma, they enjoy spending time with his parents, eating meals in their backyard under giant cork oak and fig trees and taking hikes in the Eastern hills of Sonoma - the same hillsides that were deemed ideal for Zinfandel 160 years ago.
