Wine Description
This red wine, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, is a bold, full-bodied, and well-rounded selection from a region known for its intense midday sun and cool morning fog. The colour is deep and rich. The aroma profile features notes of bright blueberry and red fruits backed by powerful scents of black peppercorn and aromatic earthy tones. On the palate, it is juicy and robust with flavors of raspberry, coffee, plum, and blackberry. The structure is defined by bold tannins that are smooth and velvety, a medium body, and a long, satisfying finish with hints of smoky spice and vanilla. For the 2020 vintage, critics noted the aromas of black cherry cream and brown spice, with more dark cherry and oak flavours on the palate, wrapped in soft tannins.
Varietal Composition: Cabernet Sauvignon
Optimal Drinking Window: Enjoy now (The 2017 vintage was suggested to drink between 2021-2024)
Organic: Not explicitly stated, but the wines are crafted to exacting standards
Accolades
Wine Enthusiast - 2021 American Winery of the Year (Award for the winery)
Food Pairing
The robust nature of this wine pairs excellently with red meats, such as grilled steaks or lamb chops. Other suggested pairings include a charcuterie board, aged cheeses like cheddar or gouda, or a rich Bolognese sauce. A perfect match to enhance the wine's complexity.
