Description:
A bold, full-bodied California Cabernet with rich dark cherry, blackberry and ripe dark-fruit flavors, layered with caramel, brown sugar, vanilla and toasted oak from aging in Ole Smoky whiskey barrels. Firm tannins frame the rich fruit, while the whiskey-barrel finish contributes a distinctive sweet-oak character and a long, smooth finish.

Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, Prime Filet Mignon, smoked brisket, BBQ ribs, Wagyu burgers or blue cheese. For Midtown Provisions, pair with a Prime Filet Mignon or smoked beef brisket. The producer specifically recommends grilled filet mignon and blue cheese.

Serve: 60–65°F. Allow approximately 20–30 minutes to breathe before serving.
