✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary E. & J. Gallo Winery, Carnivor Cabernet Sauvignon is designed with a singular, bold vision: to create a wine that perfectly complements the rich flavors of red meat. Sourced primarily from select vineyards across California's warm Lodi region, where sandy soils and Mediterranean climates allow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to achieve maximum ripeness, this wine is known for its intensely dark, near-opaque color. To achieve its signature velvety texture and deep complexity, winemakers blend in a portion of Petite Sirah, a grape celebrated for its robust structure and inky hue. The wine undergoes a warm fermentation to maximize color and tannin extraction, followed by aging on oak to infuse decadent notes of toasted oak, espresso, and dark chocolate into the plush blackberry and black cherry core.
