Graphite, spice and blackcurrant lead the charge. Plum and cedar bring the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: This is the night for steak, lamb or hard cheese. The meat softens the tannin and pulls spice forward, so both the food and the wine come out better.
Origin: Clarksburg, California, USA
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
