Description:
A distinctive Oakville Cabernet with layers of blackberry, cassis, black currant, plum and black cherry, complemented by savory notes of mint, herbs, tobacco and black olive. Extended American-oak aging contributes vanilla, cocoa, cardamom and cinnamon, while structured tannins and fresh acidity provide balance and a long, polished finish.

Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, Prime NY Strip, beef tenderloin, rack of lamb or braised short ribs. For Midtown Provisions, pair with a Prime Ribeye. The winery specifically describes Spitfire as a Cabernet made for steak.

Serve: 60–65°F. For a recent vintage, allow approximately 30–45 minutes to breathe before serving.
