Grgich Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 93/100

Grgich Hills 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and juicy 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and Petit Verdot red wine blend. Fragrant with smoky dark fruit and anise spice aromas on the nose, the wine is rich and full-bodied and smooth on the palate with ripe dark berry, sweet black cherry, black olive, meaty and toasty oak spice flavours. Nicely balanced with food-friendly acidity to pair with steaks from the grill. Tannins are velvety. More French in style and not surprising since Mike Grgich was responsible for making the 1973 Chateau Montelena wine that beat many of its French contenders in the Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: lamb Bolognese, beef enchiladas, barbecued ribs in sauce, hamburger, hard cheese.
