Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Arcturus is named for the 4th brightest star in the sky, a star astronomers classify as a Red Supergiant. This symbolic name was chosen because the Arcturus Cabernet Sauvignon is considered our Red Supergiant! This Bordeaux style Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with the perfect amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from our Estate Vineyard in the mountains of the Atlas Peak Appellation.

ARCTURUS 2003 - WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Juicy ripe cherry and deep blueberry fruit flavors and mincemeat fill the palate, while the nose emanates aromas of alfalfa, berry jam, and the distinctive Napa Valley characteristics of pepper and earth.
