March 7, 2024 - Initial impressions on PnP: Very heavy on the oak in the mouth, which I'd swear was American, with overpowering vanilla. Opaque purple color. Viscous. Hopefully this settles down with some air. Not fair to rate right out of the gate.

March 3, 2024 - Ripe bing cherries and sweet wood aroma. Cherries, cocoa powder and really good underlying acidity. Really good right now.

Food Pairing
Community Recommendations
Manchego, aged cheese, bbq beef, beef, 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, gran padano, Grana Padano and Pecorino will also pair well. Cabernet Sauvignon is almost always aged in oak, lamb, 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, parmiggianoWho Likes This Wine
