Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon - 750ml

Bonanza is a California Cabernet Sauvignon produced by Chuck Wagner, owner and winemaker of Caymus Vineyards. The name evokes the bonanza of the Golden State—the rich rewards found in its sun-drenched vineyards where Cabernet vines thrive. This wine celebrates that spirit: a modern interpretation of a classic that pairs effortlessly with meals and life’s simple pleasures. From the first swirl, Bonanza reveals depth and allure: dark berry aromas mingle with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of toasted bread, like the comforting warmth of a well-loved kitchen. On the palate, it offers a generous yet refined entry, with succulent blackcurrant and blackberry fruit supported by velvety tannins. Subtle notes of caramelized oak, espresso, and dark chocolate provide complexity as the wine evolves in the glass. The finish lingers with a balanced mix of fruit sweetness and savory bread-dough character, inviting another sip and a thoughtful pause. Crafted with attention to terroir and balance, Bonanza embodies a time when dinner wine was a simple, cherished pleasure—yet it also speaks to a modern palate that appreciates structure, longevity, and the thrill of discovery. This Cabernet Sauvignon is versatile with a range of dishes, from grilled steaks and roasted vegetables to hearty pasta, and it rewards patience as it continues to open with age. It is a testament to California’s diverse landscapes, where sun, soil, and careful vineyard protocol come together to produce wines that are expressive yet poised.
