This California Montepulciano delivers the bold character of a Cabernet Sauvignon, but with a lighter, more approachable twist. It opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, cassis, and ripe plum, accompanied by subtle herbal and tobacco notes that add complexity. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with smooth tannins, offering juicy flavors of dark berries and a touch of dried herbs, reminiscent of a classic Cab but with a softer, more elegant finish. The bright acidity keeps it fresh and balanced, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy the structure and depth of a Cabernet Sauvignon, but with a more approachable, food-friendly style. Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or hard cheeses.
