DeLoach California Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Encapsulating the essence of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, the DeLoach California Cabernet Sauvignon offers a symphony of sensory delight. Its olfactory landscape presents a harmonious interplay of dark fruit primary aromas, such as blackberries and plums, with the oak’s secondary whispers of vanilla and mocha, culminating in tertiary notes of aging tobacco. On the palate, it unveils a fruit-forward profile, highlighting the succulence of black cherries and the depth of dark berries, which are seamlessly integrated with hints of cedar from the oak aging and an intriguing bottle evolution backdrop of tobacco. A magnificent exemplar of varietal expression, it is the texture that truly sets this Cabernet Sauvignon apart - a marvel of full-bodied grace, underscored by firm tannins that promise to evolve, and a finish that persists, insisting on memory.

Pairings & Suggestions

• Grilled meats: The firm tannins harmonize wonderfully with the juiciness of a perfectly grilled steak.
• Aged cheeses: Pair it with a slice of old cheddar for a match that will sing to the palate.
• Dark chocolate desserts: Savor the lingering finish alongside an indulgent chocolate ganache.
