April 10, 2024 - Decanted for three hours prior to dinner. Classic Napa cab with dark fruits and excellent balance. Still mostly primary at this point, but no apparent hurry.

February 14, 2024 - Opened this bottle for Valentine's Day.
Took about two hours of decanting to really open up. Initial taste was very fruity.
Nose of dark cherry and wet dirt.
Cherry skin and nice tannins on the palette.
Could benefit from a few more years in the bottle.4 people found this helpful Comment -

January 20, 2024 - Deeply concentrated and intense black fruit, mint, cocoa, menthol, silky tannins prominent, long complex finish. Great now, but patience would reward.

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, pizza, Spicy vegetarian nachos, which softens the wine and makes it pleasant to drink together with food.Who Likes This Wine
