Heavyweight Red Cabernet Sauvignon

Heavyweight Red Cabernet Sauvignon

When you’ve got a big, rare rib eye or a killer cheeseburger on your plate, do you really want a nice little fruity white wine or a delicate pink number in your glass? We didn’t think so. Sometimes the situation just calls for BIG, rich, mouthful of flavor, and that’s when you need a Champion in your glass!

Now don’t worry, this Cabernet Sauvignon isn’t just another big bruiser. The blackberry and currant aromas are swift and lingering (I know, we’re drifting into wine speak here, but we’re going to fight our way out of this corner). The rich fruit flavors don’t feint or dodge-they’re straight ahead and swarming. And like the best heavyweights, the flavors come at you in combinations and by the time you figure one out, you get hit with another. So just take a couple of sips and then go your corner and catch your breath....

Premium, oak aged Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Syrah and Zinfandel. Three Collector’s Labels are available for each vintage.

Heavyweight White Chardonnay

Heavyweight Red Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Michael McVittie | play.adn.com | 03.12.2010
"It's nice to find wines that "over-deliver" (a new industry buzz word). Smart wineries will listen, especially if they want to survive in these lean times. The 2005 Heavyweight Red Cabernet will leave money in your pocket and as the name implies -- it's rich across the pallet. Put together by ADS wines, it's 76 percent Cabernet, 14 percent Syrah and 10 percent Zinfandel. Each varietal lends a substantial portion to the mix. Initial aromas of wood, berry and spice show off its expensive oak treatment. The mouth is fat and sweet with fruit, black cherry, liquorice and a touch of raisin. The '05 is drinking fabulously well. It's lengthy, developed and not at all tannic. Enjoy with something rich and beefy! Costs about $12."
