Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2021 vintage, made from estate-grown fruit in High Valley, Lake County, California, and aged in fine oak barrels. The nose opens with ripe black plum, cassis and blackberry alongside violet, black licorice, earthy minerality and a hint of black truffle. On the palate, juicy blackberry and blueberry meet citrus zest, dried herbs and dark chocolate, with integrated oak lending a smoky polish and fine tannins giving it structure. The finish is long and supple, closing on black fruit, cocoa and a mineral freshness. It suits the Cabernet drinker who wants power without heaviness, and it rewards anyone curious about how High Valley's cool-climate intensity shows up in the glass. We carry it because it speaks with a distinct regional voice, and because it works as well at a special dinner as it does tucked away for future enjoyment. Give it 30 to 60 minutes in a decanter and it gains real depth and complexity.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The wine's fine tannins and juicy blackberry fruit stand up to rich, charred beef, while its smoky oak echoes the grill.
- Wild mushroom and truffle risotto — Earthy minerality and hints of black truffle on the nose mirror the savory depth of the mushrooms.
- Milestone anniversary dinner — Its long, supple finish of black fruit and cocoa makes it a bottle worth opening slowly over a meal that marks an occasion.
