Introduction

The Federalist Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a bold and expressive red wine that pays homage to America’s founding fathers, reflecting a spirit of independence and robust character. Produced by The Federalist winery, this wine primarily sources its grapes from Lodi, California, a region celebrated for its old vine Zinfandel but also increasingly recognized for producing powerful and fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2018 vintage, known for its optimal growing conditions, yielded grapes with concentrated flavors, allowing this wine to showcase a rich, opulent style that balances intensity with approachability.

Character Description

The Federalist Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 presents a deep, opaque ruby-purple hue, indicative of its concentration and ripeness. It offers an intensely aromatic bouquet of ripe black cherry, cassis, and blackberry, generously interwoven with inviting notes of vanilla bean, mocha, baking spice, and a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied and powerful texture, with concentrated dark fruit flavors mirroring the nose, complemented by a subtle savory nuance. It’s supported by firm yet velvety tannins that provide a rich mouthfeel and a long finish, balanced by a well-integrated acidity that ensures freshness. The finish is long, smooth, and layered, leaving a lingering impression of dark chocolate, sweet spice, and the satisfying richness of a well-crafted Californian Cabernet.

Perfect Pairings

This robust Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional partner for hearty and flavorful dishes. It beautifully complements grilled or roasted red meats, such as a prime rib, beef brisket, or a juicy steak. Its rich fruit and integrated tannins also enhance dishes with bold flavors, like slow-cooked lamb shanks, venison stew, or smoky barbecued ribs. Furthermore, it pairs wonderfully with aged, hard cheeses such as sharp cheddar or aged Gouda. Its powerful structure and appealing richness make it an ideal choice for a celebratory meal, a backyard barbecue, or an evening by the fire.

About the Winery

The Federalist, part of the Terlato Wine Group portfolio, is a winery that draws inspiration from the rebellious spirit of America’s early patriots.

Based in California, with a significant focus on the Lodi region for its rich soils and warm climate, The Federalist is dedicated to producing wines that are approachable, expressive, and consistently high in quality. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a true representation of their commitment to crafting bold, flavorful wines that embody the independent and adventurous spirit of their namesake.
