Tasting notes
Accessible aromas of sun-ripened blackberries and red cherry blend with a dense core of cassis and pomegranate reduction on the nose. Playful acidity is lavishly rounded by tones of bright strawberries, muddled blackberries and huckleberries. Rich mouthfeel is accompanied by an expansive, pure fruit mid palette that trails into a broad and lingering finish.
Winery Description
Cannonball Wine Company was founded in 2006 by longtime winemaker Dennis Hill and former attorney turned wine entrepreneur Yoav Gilat. Dennis is a Sonoma County native from a family with a long viticultural tradition in the region. The iconic label image of a child doing a ‘Cannonball’ refers to jumping into the water with your knees tucked into your chest in order to make a big splash and get your nearby friends as wet as possible.
The Cannonball name and label symbolize the uninhibited and pure spirit of a child having fun. This is the soul of Cannonball Wine Company: life - and wine - should befun! And it is exactly this pure and uninhibited spirit that animates Dennis and Yoav’s passion to produce honest, high quality wines at great prices that are fun to drink.
We hope a splash of Cannonball winewill make you smile like a big kid doing Cannonballs - and don’t forget to share a splash or two with yourfriends!
