April 11, 2024 - Worked very well with aged cheeses. Cherry/berry notes, full bodied but not heavy.

March 17, 2023 - cab-based blend… ripe and rich.
nice deep purplish ruby in the glass with good body. a lot of dark fruit on the nose (plums, blueberry, blackberry) with herbal (bay leaf) and spicy (pepper, tobacco) whiffs. the fruit is generous in the mouth in a fairly round feel with moderate tannins and light somewhat savoury acidity.
with time vanilla notes begin to appear both in the nose and the palate and carry on thru the finish. these notes give the fruit a sweet aspect that overpowers the complexity of the wine (and that was not much to my liking). a bit of heat from the 14.7% AbV.
84% CS/ 11% Merlot/ 2% Mourvedre/ 2% Petit Verdot/ 1% Syrah. -

January 22, 2023 - A really good cab. Definitely drink with something full of flavor. Also, needs to open up. Had it about 2hrs after opening and it got better with every sip.

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, hard cheese., 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, Prime rib, which softens the wine and makes it pleasant to drink together with food.Who Likes This Wine
