Virginia - A Cabernet Sauvignon bred on the vine and in the winery for early approachability, the wine nevertheless evolves in bottle to repay patience in its consumption. Complex and inviting, ripened dark berry fruit woven with currant, cassis, and chocolate notes. As expected, supple and refined tannins sustain a bold but balanced finish. Because of its vivid fruit and moderate concentration of tannins, its food pairing range is broader than expected, while still giving great satisfaction especially with rich red meats and game. Food Pairing Ideas: Barley soup with fresh thyme and parmigiano ~ Grilled strip loin of beef with green peppercorn sauce ~ Fine assorted cheeses and dried figs
