Tasting Notes:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a harmonious blend of fruit and finesse, with the rich structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Fruit forward on the nose with nice oak integration, providing a balanced mouthfeel with a smooth, lingering finish.
Aroma:
The nose is inviting and aromatic, offering an initial burst of ripe black fruit—blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of blueberry. As it opens, a soft layer of vanilla and toasted oak emerges.
Palate:
Contrary to most Cabernet's these days, this wine is medium-bodied with a velvety texture The Cabenet's aromas carry the wine, while the Merlot component softens the edges, giving the wine a lush, approachable mid-palate. The Cabernet Franc adds a delicate layer of dried herbs and freshness.
Food Pairings:
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile partner for a range of hearty dishes. Pair it with a nicely marbled red meat to highlight its rich fruit and tannic structure. For a more refined pairing, try it with aged cheeses like Manchego or a decadent charcuterie board featuring smoked meats and pâté.
