Rombauer’s Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc “is such fun, so zesty and exuberant, it is worthy of a fiesta.”

This is a single vineyard effort composed entirely of cabernet sauvignon from the namesake vineyard in St. Helena. One of the things that I do more when winter is over is grill. Put on a coat, warm up your grill, throw some steaks on it, and pair them with this cabernet. Red fruit aromas and a hint of savory herb mark the nose. Tons of red and black cherry fill the substantial palate. Minerals, bits of dust, and black tea are all part of the long finish. Good acid and firm tannins provide nice structure. This is a rich, but balanced cabernet that won’t overwhelm on a warm day.
