Canvasback Cabernet
Washington Cabernet, hand picked and kept in Commack.
The story behind Canvasback
Canvasback is a Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon, and Washington is a place that grows Cabernet with real structure. Warm days and cool nights give the fruit ripeness while keeping the acidity fresh, so the wine tends to show dark cherry and cassis with a firm, drying tannin and a savory finish.

Which Canvasback is right for you?
Canvasback Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL is $36.99. That is a fair number for a Washington Cabernet with this much tannin and depth, and it drinks well beside a steak or a roast. Stock on this one is thin, so call the shop at (631) 343-7200 before you make the trip.
Enough tannin and dark fruit to stand up to grilled beef.
