The addition of 18% Syrah makes for an interesting glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Master blender Kerry Damskey makes it work here, where it brings out the Cabernet’s dark side, and adds a savory note. Go for something gamey as a pairing. A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition
