Ana Diogo-Draper Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
About the wine
Ana's stunning Sonoma Cabernet is rich, refined and ready to wow
- Ana’s deep, elegant and forever fruity Cabernet perfectly captures the power of Sonoma - her home away from Portugal.
- With Angel funding unlocking virtually any vineyard she wants in California wine country, Ana struck out to craft the finest, ripest, most unforgettable Cabernet in Sonoma – now it’s all yours!
- This bold, first-class Cabernet is ideal for aging on the top shelf for a few years if you want to let the flavors evolve a bit more. Or enjoy a glass the same day it arrives – just be sure to give it an hour or two to sit after opening, and let all its wondrous flavors unfold.
Best before
This wine is ready to be enjoyed right away, even though it is a young wine. However, you can lay it down in your cellar for the next 5-10 years. If you are as impatient as me, you will want to try it right away. So please be sure to decant it ahead of time (1 to 2 hours), as it will bring all the fruit forward and tame down the young tannins.
Serving advice
As a bold, young Cabernet, please remember to allow the wine to breathe for 1-2 hours before enjoying it, or by decanting for at least 30 minutes.
Food match
A nice grilled steak is the perfect companion for this wine. You also can't go wrong with portobello mushrooms, beef roasts, hearty Italian dishes and pizza.
Contains sulphites
