Typically concentrated and round with dark fruit, cassis, smoke, spice and a bit of chocolate, this balanced, well-made, value-priced California Cabernet will be a hit alongside spicy ribs, grilled steak or any other seasonal dish you may be cooking up. This is truly a fun and toasty red.

THE BACK STORY
Cannonball refers to jumping into the water with your knees tucked into your chest – like when you were a child and you ran to dive into the water and make a big splash! The Cannonball icon is a symbol of your inner child; that uninhibited spirit is the soul of Cannonball Wine. Cannonball wines will make you smile and remember to not to take life so seriously.
They make wines that are approachable. What we admire about their approach to making wine is that he is very open to consumers. They always want to know what consumers like, and are trying to satisfy palates instead of just making wine (to fit a certain ego).
