Winemaker's NotesThe Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon is a revolutionary wine created to honor the man many call the first American, Benjamin Franklin. Ben Franklin was a passionate man who helped draft the Declaration of Independence and campaigned for colonial unity during the American Revolution.
The Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of blue/black fruits (blackberries, blueberries) and cinnamon spice, a good density, firm tannin structure, and a long, smooth finish.

A lavish oak component makes this full-bodied wine very aromatic—smoke, black pepper, cardamom—and also adds a spicy accent to the bold, ripe fruit flavors. The rich texture feels velvety in the mouth, and the spicy oak and potent fruit notes echo on the finish."
