About the wine
Rich Reserve Cabernet loaded with lavish barrel-aged smoothness
- This velvety Cabernet is a David Akiyoshi specialty, drenched in juicy, ripe flavors of cherry and plum, with an elegant touch of spice from the oak barrel aging that gives this red its top-notch reserve status.
- With your funding, David hand-selects and harvests the best grapes from some of his favorite Lodi vineyards, then gives them the full treatment in the winery, including aging in small French oak barrels, all to bring you the most luxurious Cabernet he possibly can.
- This Reserve Cabernet is one of the highest-rated red wines you fund – Angels have rained 90+ ratings on all six vintages David has made so far. Get yourself a bottle or two of this Angel-funded classic before David’s followers scoop them all up!
Best before
For a fun tasting exercise, bring home a few bottles of this Cabernet and open one or two now, then store the rest and open them over the next few months or even years to see how the flavors evolve over time.
Serving advice
If you have a decanter, this would be the Reserve Cabernet to use it on. Otherwise, simply let your wine air out and open up for at least an hour before enjoying it.
Food match
A nice charcuterie plate with some aged cheeses and crusty sourdough bread would work well, or perhaps an herb-crusted, quick-seared lamb chop and couscous. A grilled portobello mushroom burger with Jarlsberg cheese and garlic grilled buns ought to bring it home too.
