Lightpost Winery has a few ponies in its Cabernet stable, and they are all exceptional. It’s nice to have choices, and this offering shows great depth without resorting to overt fleshy character. Notes of blackberry, cassis, gentle oak toast and brown spice are well integrated, and lively acidity keeps things bright through an extended finish. I would look to red meat here for a pairing.
