Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep ruby red with a dark core.

Aroma

Rich and layered aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and ripe plum, complemented by cedarwood, cocoa, tobacco, and subtle spice.

Taste

Full-bodied and rounded with flavours of dark fruit, gentle spice, and well-integrated oak. The tannins are ripe and velvety, while fresh acidity provides balance and elegance. Powerful, yet always controlled.

Finish

Medium to long, smooth and refined, with lingering fruit and a soft, spicy finish.

Food Pairing

Excellent with grilled beef, lamb chops, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. Also very well suited to gastronomic meat dishes.

Producer

Bernardus Winery is located in Carmel Valley, California, and was founded by Ben Pon. The winery is known for its elegant, European-inspired approach to Californian wine, focusing on balance, refinement, and food-friendly styles. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a clear expression of that philosophy: powerful yet beautifully balanced.

Bernardus Winery is a wine producer from Carmel Valley in California, United States. It was founded in 1989 by Dutch entrepreneur and former racing driver Ben Pon. During his extensive travels, he developed a fascination with fine wine and the ambition to establish an estate of his own in California. He selected Carmel Valley, where warm, sunny days are followed by cool nights and refreshing air from the Pacific Ocean.

The winery owns vineyards in Carmel Valley and also maintains long-standing relationships with selected growers throughout Monterey County. This provides Bernardus with access to a variety of landscapes and climatic conditions within the region. The grapes are harvested by hand and selected during several passes throughout the season, allowing each vineyard to be picked at the right moment. Bernardus combines its Dutch origins with the relaxed character and possibilities of California, giving the winery a distinctive place within the Monterey wine landscape.
