Description:
A highly rated Paso Robles Cabernet with rich blackberry, black raspberry, cherry and cassis flavors layered with dark chocolate, tobacco, sage, graphite and dried herbs. The 2021 balances generous, ripe fruit with fresh acidity and fine tannins, finishing long with savory and mineral notes.

Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, NY Strip, beef short ribs, brisket, grilled lamb or aged cheeses. For Midtown Provisions, I’d pair this with a Prime Ribeye—the Cabernet’s dark fruit, herbal complexity and structured tannins are a natural match for a richly marbled steak.

Serve: Around 60–65°F. Give it approximately 30 minutes to breathe before serving.
