Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $33.00 per bottle

Description: Although young, our 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is seductive and a little precocious…one minute, cherries and smoke and the next, currant, cocoa and cedar. The saturated deep purple-black hue is met with a nose of blackberry, black cherry, cigar box and spicy oak with secondary nuances of vanilla, clove and coffee…all hints of the power within! The charm of this wine allows enormous complexity. The exceptional depth and structure is followed by a long licorice and fruit finish with soft, chewy tannins. Our Cabernet is very appealing to drink now and the mouthfeel and tannins promise beautiful evolution. Its sophistication should only get more complex with time. The smooth textures make our Cab a perfect match with pan roasted North American Halibut or Bacon Wrapped Scallops. When I think of pairing our Cab I think of grilled Veal Chops with Rosemary or a thick juicy Steak smothered with onions and Blue Cheese. I would also pair with Lamb, Pork Loin and seasonal game dishes especially when prepared with herbs.
