2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Louvau Vineyard

TASTING NOTE:  Reminiscent of an old-world style Cabernet, with an earthiness that complements the fruit. The nose features a pleasant dustiness that evolves into notes of leather and a dollop of black fruit. The palate exhibits a  black fruit character with flavors of blackberries and plum. The finish lingers with a balanced tannic structure. . Drink now through 2028.

 

FOOD PAIRING:  This rich and robust Cabernet is a great match with a filet or grilled t-bone.  Not too heavy for pulled pork or  Italian dishes,  but full-bodied enough to serve with short ribs or a  mushroom bacon burger.  Umami flavors like  Shitake mushrooms and roasted red peppers also pair nicely with this wine.
