Chloe Cabernet Sauvignon San Lucas 750ml
Chloe Cabernet Sauvignon San Lucas is crafted by winemaker Georgetta Dane for the Chloe Wine Collection, sourced from the San Lucas appellation at the southern end of Monterey County, California. The region's shaly loam soils provide exceptional drainage, producing small, intensely concentrated berries, and grapes are night-harvested to preserve acidity and fresh fruit character before undergoing a cold soak, full malolactic fermentation, and 14 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.
