An intriguing nose of brambly blackberry, Queen Anne cherry and red currant merges with hints of freshly ground white pepper, fine herbs and oak. A bright entry reveals buoyant acidity wrapped around a core of English Morello cherry and pomegranate juice with hints of blueberry, cedar and loamy earth appearing mid-palate. This youthful Cab divulges its depth of flavors when decanted for at least 30 minutes before serving.
A juicy steak is always an excellent pairing with this Cabernet. Try a slice of medium-rare tri-tip, or a Prosciutto and rosemary stuffed flank steak served with creamy scalloped potatoes.
