I uncorked this California Cabernet Sauvignon on vacation in Maine as we grilled some thick, juicy, peppery rib eye steaks. This is what you should pair this wine with.
The wine is dark ruby in the glass and initially pretty tart on the nose making me wish I had brought a decanter on my beach vacation. In the glass, this wine offers allspice and dark fruit. In the mouth, the 2006 Stag’s Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and full-bodied with vanilla and butterscotch notes. Really long finish with lingering spice.
Really nice wine that could have used a little decanting.
Around $40.
