From Alexander Valley, Sonoma County wine region, Robert Young 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has a splash or two of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot grapes added to the mix. Fresh on the palate with cassis, dark cherry, blueberry, chocolate and toasty oak spice flavours with ripe and plushy tannins. Go ahead and treat yourself with this beautifully-crafted Cali Cab.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: veal Porterhouse steak, grilled lamb chops, bavette steak with wild mushroom sauce, burgers, ribs, roast chicken.

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.
