Bual is the English term named after the Portuguese Boal grape. The white wine grape variety refers to a handful of grapes, but it typically refers to the Bual de Madeira grape type. Bual wines are typically sweet wines that are produced from large and sweet grapes. The heaviness and flavor of the Bual grapes make them delicious table grapes. The taste of these grapes is similar to the Sercial variety. The bual grape type is a great place to start if one is trying Madeira wines for the first time. Bual wine is typically aromatic, but is not too sweet. This wine has hints of acidity, which helps balance the sweetness of it. Although it is one of the darkest, if not the darkest of all wines from Madeira, the type is certainly not overpowering and is very palatable. Madeira wines from the Bual variety are usually not as sweet as wine crafted from the Malmsey grape type, but it is sweeter than other grape types. The hints of caramel, apricot, orange, and dried fruits lend Bual a distinct taste. The Bual vines typically grow in regions of Spain and Portugal, but the regions tend to use the variety for fortified wines.

The backbone of this Cabernet Sauvignon is derived from a vineyard in the Atlas Peak AVA of Napa Valley where soils are volcanic in origin and have limited water retention. The balance of fruit is sourced from Coombsville and Oak Knoll. The small berry clusters and intense fruit from low-yielding vines create a wine with full flavor and longevity.
This Cabernet delivers multi-layered aromas of ripe black cherries, toasted oak, dark chocolate, cardamom, vanilla bean, and cedar. A rich medium-bodied wine with plush rounded tannins and juicy blackberries and orange zest that linger on the finish.
