Winemaker’s Notes
Clay Shannon Cabernet Sauvignon “Barkley” is a bold and expressive wine from Shannon Ridge Winery, located in the rugged, high-elevation vineyards of Lake County, California. Committed to sustainable farming and minimal intervention winemaking, Clay Shannon crafts wines that highlight the unique terroir of this region. This Cabernet Sauvignon is made from carefully selected grapes grown in volcanic soils, producing a wine that is both powerful and beautifully structured. The “Barkley” label pays tribute to the winery’s dedication to their land and the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Rich and full-bodied, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers intense aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dark plum, complemented by hints of vanilla, cedar, and dark chocolate from oak aging. The palate is layered with bold fruit flavors, velvety tannins, and a long, elegant finish accented by notes of spice and toasted oak. This wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled ribeye, slow-braised short ribs, or aged cheddar, making it a perfect choice for hearty meals and special occasions.
