2021 RESERVE, Cassata Vineyards
This outstanding Reserve blend consists of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot all from the beautiful Cassata Vineyards in Sonoma Valley. From the moment it’s poured into the glass, this full-bodied blend opens with aromas of fresh raspberry, boysenberry, black plum, dried herbs, nutmeg, tobacco, and caramel. In the glass, these aromas are complemented with deep flavors of mulberry, black currant, cacao, cedar, and baking spices. Elegantly balanced, this wine displays smooth tannins, silky texture, and a persistent dry finish.
Pairs well with aged Gouda and Gorgonzola cheeses, rustic ratatouille, wild mushroom pizza, grilled ribeye with peppercorn sauce, rack of lamb with chimichurri sauce, and bittersweet chocolate truffles.
