Description:
Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from several small-berry clones of this traditional Bordeaux varietal, grown in the Paso Robles region of California's Central Coast.

An extended growing season, with sunny, moderate daytime temperatures, along with cool summer nights, allows ideal fruit development at this site. Well-drained soils, rich in maritime fossils, add uniquely aromatic components to this fruit-forward wine.

Classic, small-lot fermentations, followed by aging with both European and American oak, gives full expression to the rich varietal flavors in this wine.

Judiciously blended with small amounts of Merlot for softness, and Syrah for added structure, Vampire's Cabernet displays ripe flavour character and a lovely aroma that will continue to develop with additional time in bottle.

Ideal for grilled steaks and chops, or with rich red pasta dishes, Vampire's Cabernet Sauvignon is well-suited for the table, and is a wonderful complement to any fine meal.

Review: Amazing with red meat dishes....as with most flavoursome reds, easy to drink, goes down all too quickly.

Producer Information

Rumor has it that the Vampire Vineyards are actually owned by a circle of vampires, and the company's founder, an entertainment attorney from New York, is actually just a front. (Whether he and his convertible were commandeered by a Vampire is still a subject for debate.) We do know however that after satiating themselves for years with their Transylvanian blood of the vine, the powers that be decided to spice things up and migrate westward like so many vampires before them.
Using meticulous advance planning, these vampires planted their rootstock at the dawn of the 21st century in the mountainous region of Paso Robles, California, where the ocean fog frequently rolls in off the coast providing the perfect cover to their hidden vineyards.
Having waited a full seven years, the vampires' rootstock now has yielded wonderful tight small clusters of grapes that have been skillfully blended by vampire winemakers to produce phenomenal wines -- smooth and well rounded, with forward fresh fruit - that have been aged in both French and American Oak Barrels.
Sip the Blood of the Vine and enjoy!
