Michael David Winery's Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon is a renowned Californian wine with a bold, muscular character. This ruby-hued delight exudes the rich aroma of ripe berries and pepper, leading to flavours of succulent dark fruit, spicy oak, and underlying hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. With a voluptuous texture, rounded tannins and a lengthy finish, this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is old-world terroir meets new-world exuberance. Aptly named ‘Earthquake’, it vibrates the senses with its decadent expression of a classic varietal and leaves an indelible mark long after the last sip.

Tasting Notes

Shattering the mold with off the chart, concentrated flavours, our 2021 Earthquake Cabernet is a force to be reckoned with. Deep ruby in hue, this wine opens with bold, layered aromas of dark plum, blackberry and mocha in the glass. Full bodied, Cab is filled with intense flavours of boysenberry, espresso and toasted marshmallow leading to a trembling, oak-inspired finish.
