Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Laird / Flat Rock Ranch
Layered in ripe red fruit like cassis and currant, it offers smoothness amidst grippy tannins and savory suggestions of toasty oak, black tea and soy. All need air and time to develop more fully. Pair with a classic pepper steak and garlicky mashed potatoes.
