Description:
A polished Napa Valley Cabernet with aromas of blackberry cobbler, ripe plum and black currant, layered with fresh tobacco, vanilla and caramelized black fruit. The palate is silky yet structured, offering raspberry, black cherry and black plum with rich tannins and lively acidity. The long finish brings notes of dark cocoa and cherry, reflecting the wine's significant Rutherford influence.

Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, Prime NY Strip, beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin, grilled vegetables or aged cheeses. For Midtown Provisions, pair with a Prime Ribeye. The winery specifically recommends this Cabernet with grilled red meats.

Serve: 60–65°F. With the 2020 now having some bottle age, open and taste first; approximately 20–30 minutes of air should be sufficient.
