This offers an acid-driven style that I really appreciate in Cabernet – there’s real food friendliness here, with no rough edges, layered spice and fruit, unobtrusive oak and staying power in the finish. A sturdy mineral core carries those layers well, and a slightly fatty slab of beef will show it off nicely.
