Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from V. Sattui opens with a cassis and dark chocolate bouquet with hints of oak, eucalyptus, and coconut. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and approachable. The flavor profile is a marionberry and gentle tobacco blend with notes of cedar and red currant. We also detected hints of coconut, muddled mint, and bay leaf. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and its moderate tannins show nice length. We would pair this friendly Cab with beef wellington or with beef carpaccio. Enjoy – KWGTP.
Winemaker Notes: From the first pour, this wine makes an impression, showing a deep garnet color and inviting aromas of black cherry, black plum, and a hint of cinnamon spice. The palate is bright and expressive, with layers of raspberry and red currant that unfold into juicy, mouth-filling richness. Nineteen months of aging in 70% new French oak add depth and polish, layering in subtle notes of toasted spice and shaping the wine’s supple texture. Structured yet lively tannins give it lift and definition, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. It’s an ideal companion to hearty grilled fare or comforting, vegetable-forward dishes.
