Avalon 'California' Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
According to Arthurian legend, the town of Glastonbury in the U.K. was once known as Avalon. Avalon has long been associated with paradise. It is a land of souls. Many believe that King Arthur's soul rests there and will some day rise again to defend England.
Our wines don't cost a king's ransom, but that's exactly what our Winemaker Alex Cose used to make. We joke with him and say, "Make us a wine that tastes like $75, and then let's sell it for $15.
Avalon's inspiration is derived from our owner Derek Benham. Never one to let the world pass him by, Derek is always striving to find better ways to make the wine, sell the wine and to talk about it. His enthusiasm for Avalon inspires us all.
