This Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has lush aromas of blackberry, dark pum and cocoa, elegantly structured tannins and an opulent dark fruit finish.
Though a natural pairing for a flavorful steak, such as ribeye or filet mignon, this wines' balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity beautifully complement grilled or savory roasted dishes, such as herb-crusted lamb, pork belly, or rosemary chicken. The dark fruit flavors will also stand up to richer meals, such as veal tenderloin with a wine sauce, mushroom risotto, or duck confit.
