Block Nine Cabernet
Approachable California reds, stocked in small lots in Commack.
The story behind Block Nine
California Cabernet covers a wide range, from big mountain fruit to softer everyday bottlings built for the dinner table. The everyday style tends to be round and fruit forward, with dark cherry and plum up front, gentle oak, and tannins that stay polite rather than grippy. It is the kind of red that opens up quickly and does not demand a decanter.
We keep Block Nine in small quantity here in Commack, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have. Ask us at the counter and we will tell you honestly what is on the shelf today.
