With all the sun and fun on the horizon, I thought I would have a little wine fun with Cannonball wines.  Cannonball Cabernet & Merlot take that free feeling of the "peoples dive" and apply that philosophy to winemaking.  Now you may think that a wine company called Cannonball is not very serious.  For the most part that is true.  The guys at Cannonball Winery view life like a cannonball, free spirited and doing everything they can to make a splash!  As far as wine goes, this is something they take very serious.  Passion, honesty, and quality is what makes there Cabernet & Merlot so delicious.  "We want every wine you taste from us to be a WOW wine.  If you're going to pay $12-60 for a bottle of wine, it better hold some WOW."

Cannonball Caberent Sauvignon 2007, California: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Syrah, 3% Merlot - Aromas of fresh berries, spice, and pepper with a faint background of vanilla oak are very much reflected in the mouth. Full and rich with bright acidity, the berry and spice flavors are boldly presented along with racy, red fruit and vanilla-cherry on a layer of cocoa.

(66% Sonoma,19% Mendocino, 15% Napa, 3% other)

You can't go wrong with enjoying Cannonball with a big piece of quality red meat, a great burger, shortribs, barbeque.

Cannonball Merlot 2007, California:  The aromas reveal slowly and I find layers of cherries, floral, and vanilla-creme with a hint of red spice and walnut. In the mouth, the wine announces itself with an enthusiastic entry of cherry, pomegranate, dark berries, and toasty flavors.

Sourced 100% from Napa Valley, the majority of our Napa Valley fruit came from Oak Knoll District.

Merlot is making a comeback and we have some of the best sources in Napa. We hope you find this wine as impressive as we did. Dennis' notes are below, but the rest of us a t Cannonball are describing it as presenting generous amounts of “wow” and rich notes of blow-your-mind-away goodness ,with a strong hint of why-did-I-stop-drinking merlot? Special thanks to the movie,"Sideways", for making this moment possible.
