This easygoing Cabernet is made with fruit from Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma counties, and a dollop of Merlot is blended in to round out the mouthfeel and add extra depth before the wine is aged in French oak. Look for ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit with wisps of vanilla, and pair the wine with marinated flank steak and grilled bell peppers. |
