Producer Information

Founded in 2006 by a dynamic team of wine industry veterans who were determined to rock the wine world. The vision was to make the best California Cabernet under $20. Armed with a belief that wine should be fun, uninhibited and approachable, they set out to share a splash of Cannonball Cabernet in every glass.

By 2010, Cannonball Cabernet had established a solid reputation in the under $20 category and was receiving lots of love from consumers, restaurants, and retailers. They all wanted more, so the line was extended. The first varietal was Chardonnay, followed by Merlot, and then Sauvignon Blanc.

As our firstborn, Cannonball Cabernet remains our flagship wine.

The beloved flavours of Cannonball are sourced from select regions throughout California. The diverse California microclimates, topography and soils provide the perfect palette to create wines that are complex and highly consistent.

Today, Healdsburg, California based Cannonball is present in 47 United States and 30 international markets.

Grapes

Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah

Production

The 2018 grape crop was well-balanced with an average crop load, but smaller with looser clusters. Daytime temperatures during the ripening season were average, but there were many unusually cold nights. Even though sugar accumulation advanced easily, we allowed the fruit to hang longer than normal to achieve the desired flavour content. This vintage was an easy one to manage, the grapes had the right natural balance and were generous with exceptionally delicious flavours.

The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, undergoing a cold soak for 3 days. Gentle pumping over occurs during fermentation in stainless steel followed by malolactic fermentation. 50% of the wine spends 9 months in French oak while the other 50% is aged in American oak for 11 months before blending and bottling.

Tasting Notes

Elegant and expressive. An exciting revival of a classic style. This Cabernet has the best characteristics of traditional California and old world Bordeaux.

Intense fruit aromas of black cherry, plum accented by vanilla, caramel and rich toasted oak. Full on the palate with good concentration and considerable structure on the finish.

Superb with your favourite steak, red sauce pastas, or a juicy burger!
