Michael David Winery's Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon is a magnificent Californian red wine vaunting an impressively broad flavour profile. This intense, full-bodied wine delivers a tantalising rush of blueberry and black cherry on the palate, beautifully paired with a hint of earthy undertones. The winery's artful blending has resulted in a bold, layered wine with rich tannins and an impressive finish. A smooth texture and well-balanced acidity add to the versatility of this wine, making it a splendid partner for a decadent beef roast or mature, hard cheeses. A lively showcase of Californian viticulture at its finest.

Tasting Notes

Shattering the mold with off the chart, concentrated flavours, our 2021 Earthquake Cabernet is a force to be reckoned with. Deep ruby in hue, this wine opens with bold, layered aromas of dark plum, blackberry and mocha in the glass. Full bodied, Cab is filled with intense flavours of boysenberry, espresso and toasted marshmallow leading to a trembling, oak-inspired finish.
