  Fruit is too ripe or sweet for my taste. Otherwise enjoyable, if forgettable. I do like the screw-cap.

  Dark ruby red color. Very flat nose overall. Not much at all, some normal bland red fruit. From a taste aspect, typical Cali cab. No fireworks or anything. Some blackberry, some earthy qualities, medium tannins, good mouthfeel. Not a bad, but not a great, $10 cab. Good to bring to a holiday party.

  The Arroyo Seco influence can easily be seen in this Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon, which offers a deep garnet color and recognizable aromas of plum, dark fruits and black cherry mingled with spice from the oak barrels used in aging. This substantial wine is medium to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a lingering finish. In the glass, flavors of ripe fruit compete with classic Cabernet touches of forest floor, cocoa and a pleasant earthiness. Traditional components such as Petite Verdot bring deep color, texture and greater interest to the wine. Sanctuary has been a signature vineyard for Jekel for many years, and based on that long history this Jekel Cabernet will continue to improve and evolve in bottle for three to seven years.
