Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled T-bone steaks with anchovy and herb butter
  • Braised short ribs with mint and lemon scented barley pilaf
  • Hard aged cheeses like Wisconsin's Pleasant Ridge

Extremely balanced with 13.5% alcohol, which is rare for a Napa Cab. Features tempting notes of cassis, tar, leather, and dark chocolate on the palate, and hints of mint and eucalyptus on the nose. A very classy wine with tons of style and a great value for the price.
