The Vezér Family Vineyard 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve provided a perfect ending to the hours of shoveling yet another foot of snow to grace the Baltimore area. The snow in the photo is piled seven feet high. This Cabernet Sauvignon is made with grapes from the Suisun Valley AVA. Although there are many vineyards in Suisun Valley that supply fruit to many wineries in Napa and Sonoma, there are some wineries with tasting rooms. Vezér Family operates a tasting room at Mankas Corner and another tasting room about a mile away, Blue Victorian.

This 2007 Cab is a dark purple with a light ruby rim. Noticeable blackberry and plum aromas and tastes have nuances of chocolate and oak. Mild tannins and fruit accentuate the crisp, long finish.
