Tasting profile
In the glass the wine shows a rich ruby color with moderate depth, signalling ripe fruit without excessive extraction.
The nose favors dark berry fruits — blackcurrant and ripe cherry — with a hint of peppery spice and a faint herbal edge that provides interest and lift.
On the palate the fruit core is clear and forward, supported by a noticeable but measured tannic framework that gives the wine structure and some chew.
Acidity is present enough to keep the wine lively and to balance the fruit, leading to a finish that is moderately long and fruit-driven with a touch of spice lingering at the end.
Pairing suggestions & occasions
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs naturally with richly seasoned tacos and Mexican-inspired fare, where tomato, grilled meat and smoky spices meet the wine’s dark-fruit character.
It also works well with grilled or roasted red meats, burgers, and hearty stews where the tannins can complement protein and char.
For cheese pairings choose medium-aged cheddar, Manchego or a nutty hard cheese; these selections echo the wine’s savory and fruit elements without overwhelming them.
Serve slightly below room temperature to highlight freshness and fruit clarity, and pour for casual dinners, shared platters or anytime a versatile red is preferred.
