The G Major 7 Cabernet Sauvignon
Our only Cabernet Sauvignon blended with other grape varietals, G Major 7 Study Cabernet Sauvignon is named after a classic jazz guitar chord. Like its namesake, it is composed of 4 classic Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot and Merlot. G Major 7 is highly nuanced and provides a profound sense of elegance and complexity, changing with every swirl and sip. The nose reflects subtle floral notes which develop into deep, crushed berry and earth flavors on the palate. Its tannins are refined and seamlessly integrated. The aging potential is 20+ years.
