Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 92 points
February 15, 2022 - Limited choices on a restaurant menu and this turned out to be a nice pick (amongst Prisoner and Caymus etc so I was worried). Luckily this style was much more balanced. Nice mostly reddish fruit and more traditional in style than I expected, yet still approachable after a 45 min menu decant. Seems like a good QPR at retail

Food Pairing
Community Recommendations
Cabernet Sauvignon was made to pair with red meats. The key to Cabernet Sauvignon food pairing is to consider the tannins. Tannins need protein to break down. Cabernet has high tannins and pair best with fat rich meats that are protein rich. Cab’s fruity, Grana Padano and Pecorino will also pair well. Cabernet Sauvignon is almost always aged in oak, lamb and meaty pasta dishes. Rich wines like Cabernet Sauvignon need savory cheeses full of flavor that can stand up to the tannins and structure in the wine. Aged cheddar, Manchego, Parmigiano-Reggiano, which softens the wine and makes it pleasant to drink together with food.Who Likes This Wine
