2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, Wyldvin Vineyard
TASTING NOTES
Fruity, juicy, and smooth, this bold Cabernet shows depth and structure from the first sip. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, graphite, and smoky cedar rise from the glass. On the palate, a smooth yet energetic mouthfeel is lifted by pronounced acidity and balanced with firm, well-integrated tannins. Flavors of dark fruit compote, blueberry pie, and black tea build in intensity, supported by subtle minerality and a lingering black peppercorn finish. Enjoy now through 2030 — decant or cellar to further reveal this wine’s layered complexity.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
Sophisticated yet comforting dishes make an ideal match for this wine’s bold structure and dark fruit profile. Consider herb-crusted lamb chops, a charcoal-grilled ribeye with bone-marrow butter, or braised short rib ragu over pappardelle to highlight its richness and depth. The wine’s subtle smoky and savory undertones also pair beautifully with wood-fired mushroom pizza or aged Manchego with dried figs, amplifying its complex fruit and spice character.
