Due to a colder winter, a mild spring and only a few 100 plus degree heat spikes in the summertime, the 2019 harvest was two to three weeks later than previous years. A relatively gentle growing season, a later harvest and mild weather provided longer hang time for the grapes on the vine, allowing the fruit to evenly develop rich color and more complex flavors. With a strong backbone of cabernet sauvignon, a small dose of malbec was blended in to soften the wine with delicate fruit flavors. With a rich palate, this wine will stand up to various meat dishes such as char gilled ribeye steak or a Portobello mushroom burger with melted blue cheese. This cabernet sauvignon is sure to please at your next grill out.
