About the wine
The best of two regions in one powerful Cali Cab
- Classic Cabernet that swings in with a wallop of berries, juicy dark plums, ripe cherries and toasty, tummy-warming spices.
- A potent blend of top-quality Cab from Lodi and Clarksburg – two standout regions in California's Central Valley. The vines developed full, lush grapes bursting with flavor – making David's latest Cab the richest, most sumptuous yet.
- 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 a wine from the 2017 vintage, I think it is ready now. I think it will be even better in a year's time. If so inclined and cellar space permits: "To infinity and beyond..." Not really, but I've always been rather fond of this quote...
Serving advice
Open it often!!!
Food match
Fully-loaded burger, Sunday football and anything you decide to serve with it -- perhaps an herbed wild mushroom papardelle with a nice grated hard cheese.
Contains sulphites
