Your taste buds may not be able to distinguish between a wine made from organically grown grapes - as this Cabernet Sauvignon is - and a wine made from typical farming practices that use herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides (that's a lot of -cides!) in the vineyards, but your mind and body will appreciate the difference.
Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits aromas and flavors of cherry, currant, raspberry, vanilla, cedar, and tomato leaf (I think that is a good and apt description; a combination of oak and tannins is responsible for that aroma). The wine is medium-bodied, with smooth, unobtrusive tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
Taste and see!
