The Compass Bridge Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2023. is a $9.99 Trader Joe’s exclusive produced from vineyards in the Sonoma AVA.
The Story
The Compass Bridge Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is made by Coppola wines which is a part pf Delicato Family Wines from Lodi.
I checked the California Wine Cola Registry and Coppola was the winery of record.
Coppola is based in Sonoma though they do make wines from other California AVAs, but they have solid roots in Sonoma.
Compass Bridge is a brand of wines that include a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay, all from Trader Joe’s.
There are no tasting or production notes for this wine, so what we know will come from the tasting segment.
I would guess that this Cabernet had some sort of oak program, which is typical of Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon.
The bottle is heavy and has a deep punt in the bottom, which is typically used for wine with some aging potential.
The alcohol content is 14.5%.
