Cabernet Sauvignon, Trefethen Family Vineyards 2017

£43.99

Visiting a steakhouse in Vegas, only three wines we like to consider and a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is one, what perfect way to compliment a filet mignon or T-bone. This is a big wine and we love it.

Production area
Planted in gravelly soils in the northwestern quadrant of the stunning Trefethen estate vineyards, located in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. These well-drained soils combined with limited yields produce Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with bright and complex flavours.

Varieties

87% Cabernet Sauvignon
4% Merlot
4% Cabernet Franc
3% Malbec
2% Petit Verdot

Description
Vibrant and deep ruby in colour. The nose offers enticing aromas of blackberries, black cherries and currants; while the oak adds clove, cedar and toffee notes. The palate is greeted by fine tannin's and finishes round and silky. Balanced and drinkable now, but also an excellent addition to the collector's cellar.

Food Pairings
Beef is the obvious choice to highlight this luscious Cabernet Sauvignon. Enhance recipes with a touch of oregano, thyme or black pepper. Side dishes or sauces featuring mushrooms will make the wine shine
