Cabernet Sauvignon Glenbrook Vineyards 1995
This 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Glenbrook Vineyards in the United States. It is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most recognized dark grapes utilized for structured red wines. This variety is widely cultivated and is particularly prominent in renowned wine areas such as Bordeaux, Washington, Tuscany, and California.
California stands as the most important wine-producing state in the US, responsible for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The viticultural area stretches for more than 1,300 kilometers along the Pacific coast, from Mendocino in the north down to San Diego in the south. It contains 149 officially recognized AVAs spread across four main regions: the North Coast, Central Coast, Central Valley, and South Coast. The local climate is defined by cool ocean winds and morning fog rolling in from the Pacific Ocean. These conditions create significant diurnal temperature shifts that contribute to an extended ripening period for the grapes. The vineyards are planted on highly diverse soils, ranging from volcanic and alluvial compositions to limestone and slate.
The 1995 vintage was cellared and bottled by Glenbrook Vineyards and was produced with an alcohol content of 12.5 percent.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
California
California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.
The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.
