April 9, 2023 - Good wine, but still lots of tannins. Needs more time (~5 years). Nose had pencil shavings and some licorice. Main body was fruit with strong tannins. Wait.

February 7, 2023 - Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): Even more classic styling than the 2017. I get more of the mint/eucalyptus here. A hint of floral. Black fruits. Generally all very soft. Tannin barely there. Very pretty wine.

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
