Cabernets
Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009
Food and Wine PairingThis generous and intense wine pairs well with roasted venison, grilled lamb and braised meats flavored with bay leaves. Robust sausages and rich potato dishes would also provide a satisfying match. |
Tasting NotesVibrant aromas of dark fruit are introduced on the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon that bears the characteristics of its appellation. Notes of blackberry and bramble give way to hints of earth sage. Richly concentrated, dense blackberry, plum and run raisin flavors of the mountain fruit are carried by grippy tannins that finish with espresso and cocoa powder notes.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010
Food and Wine PairingA risotto with sautéed leeks and mushrooms would be a beautiful vegetarian choice for this wine. For the carnivore, braised lamb with oregano would make an excellent match. |
Tasting NotesCassis, blackberry and fresh rosemary in classic proportions are the enticing aromas of this wine. The palate is velvety with cassis, blackberry, plums and mocha flavors mixing with the ripe tannins and elegant structure.
