A full-bodied, beautifully structured Californian Cabernet with grapes grown in vineyards first planted in the 1800s. Seductive aromas of dark berries, smoke, mocha and vanilla spice. Decant 1 hour. Perfect for a rare steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: grilled steak, pork Wellington, grilled lamb chops.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of dark currant, plum, blackberries, mocha and smoky vanilla spice. Full bodied and smooth on the palate, with some blackberry jam notes, medium acidity, and a smoky finish. Enjoy with BBQ ribs or anything with a hint of charcoal smoke.
Edna Valley Vineyard 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is fragrant with blueberry and boysenberry, vanilla and cocoa aromas on the nose. Dry, medium-plus-bodied with vibrant blackberry, blueberry, red cherry, dried herb and mineral flavours on the palate. Enjoy with smoky beef ribs. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
