Wine Description

The 2017 Yountville Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep, inky garnet hue. On the nose, it offers alluring aromas of dark red fruits, including blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of blood orange, rose petals, and hints of cinnamon and gingerbread. The palate is rich and complex, featuring flavours of black olives, blackberries, and subtle undertones of moss and savoury dried herbs. This full-bodied wine boasts a balanced acidity and smooth tannins, leading to a long, harmonious finish.

Food Pairing

This robust Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled ribeye steak, braised lamb shanks, or aged cheddar cheese. The wine's depth and complexity are enhanced when accompanied by hearty, savoury dishes, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
