With your first sip, baking spices leap to the front – nutmeg and cardamom. Blackberries, overripe raspberries, and a touch of boysenberry create a core that holds the frame up of this generous and balanced wine. The finish lingers but does not overstay it welcome.

Mendocino – Estate Grown

100% Cabernet Sauvignon 

pH: 3.83, TA: 0586

ABV: 14%

Sugar: Dry

Acidity: Mild, well structured

Drinking Window: Drink now or hold for a few years. The wine is still exuberant, and the tannins have softened, but the wine’s balance has left even this 11 year old bottle a lovely structure. No astringent tannins and plenty of expressive fruit. 

Aging Potential: 10 – 14 years

Serving Temperature: 58° – 65°F

Food Pairings: Enjoy with a prime rib, cooked medium-rare, and don’t forget the loaded potato – with pancetta instead of bacon. The body of the wine will pair well with this classic, flavor-loaded beef dish.
