2021 Minus Tide Vine View Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes: With flavors of cassis, plum, dried herbs, and graphite, the wine envelops the palate with dense tannins and bright acidity. It is a mouthwatering and lifted expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects its cool-climate origins. This wine's excellent natural acidity will make it a great food wine and the ideal accompaniment to rich dishes.
