David Akiyoshi Cabernet Sauvignon Clarksburg 2016
About the wine
Juicy, velvety Cab that's oh-so-luxurious
- Classic Cabernet that swings in with wallop of berries and vanilla spices, thanks some extra aging in American oak.
- Thanks to Clarksburg's hot summer sun, David's latest Cab is full of extra-ripe fruit flavors like plums and ripe cherries that warm your tummy and woo your tastebuds.
- This Cabernet just screams for a sizzling slab of beef - you can turn a simple piece of meat into a carnivore's fine dining dream.
Best before
As each month passes by, I feel it will improve and develop well through for the next 5 years.
Serving advice
As a cabernet, decanting usually brings out the best the wine can offer.
Food match
I was enjoying a glass of cabernet with a charcuterie plate of some nice aged cheese, a bit of pate and fresh crusty baguette.
Contains sulphites
