Avalon 2016 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lodi wine region with some Zinfandel and Petite Sirah splashed into it. Ripe plums, blue florals, toasty oak and smoke can be found on the nose, with a palate full of vibrant plum, blueberry, red currant flavours finishing with sweet spice and mocha notes. Pair with grilled meats.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: rib roast, pork tenderloin, meat lover's pizza.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
