From the Veneto wine region, Santa Margherita 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust and concentrated red wine with black currant, dark cherry, earthy, savoury and fir flavours vibrant on the palate. Grapes were sourced from deep clay soils with a high fossil content. Tannins are structured and firm. Enjoy this Veneto red with charcuterie.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: hard cheeses, beef brisket, roast pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An elegant Cab Sauv made in the Old World style, i.e., lighter in body than the New World style. It shows the typical blackcurrant and herbal notes but with a lighter body and mouthfeel, making it even more versatile than usual in a Cab. It has refined, soft tannins and a lovely persistent, aromatic finish. Food pairings include red meats, such as game or prime roast beef, mushroom soup or risotto, as well as hot and spicy dishes and mature cheeses. Because it is lighter-bodied, you can also chill it slightly and serve it at 13C with salmon. This wine offers excellent value at this price.

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.
