Joe's Tasting Note: "It has been said that there are more soil types in the Napa Valley than in the whole of France. So although Napa Cabernet is ubiquitous, it flexes and changes along the valley and into the hills. Here it’s lush with currants and cherries, but there are notes of star anise and cloves, match it with slow-roasted beef. This Cabernet Sauvignon, however, was crafted to embody the ultimate essence of Napa, sourced from multiple appellations throughout the valley. Ruby red in color, this wine presents an effusive nose that swirls with layered aromas of fresh red raspberry, black cherry and ripe red plum, enchanting the senses with hints of fragrant dried lavender, cardamom spice and cassis. Sumptuous and elegant, the palate opens with red cherry and juicy blackberry that join with impressions of baking spice and berry cola. The complex array of flavors lasts through the long finish, framed by round tannins and integrated oak. Food Pairing Suggestions: This remarkably food-friendly wine will pair beautifully with a variety of dishes, from grilled flank steak with chimichurri, to pappardelle with braised short rib, to a lamb burger with blue cheese. For a cheese course that will amaze, try pairing this wine with Comté, a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese from the Northern Alpines of France.
