From Napa Valley, Avalon Appellation Series 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is fresh and full-bodied with layers of dark berry, plum, cassis, vanilla, dark chocolate finishing long on the palate. Tannins are rich throughout. Wine grapes for this vintage were sourced from higher elevation vineyards adding freshness and finesse to the wine. A juicy Cab to pour with a steak dinner.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: T-bone steaks, veal roast, lamb stew.

A delicious expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Full-bodied with beautiful flavors of blackberry, plum, chocolate and a hint of coffee. I'd welcome it at my next barbecue!
