Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, the best of Napa and Sonoma counties blended together to make a soft tannin, fruit forward, great with food type of Cabernet Sauvignon. This was what we enjoyed after we had the Capture Sauvignon Blanc, and it was totally worth it. Paired with Beef Short Ribs, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Asparagus with Pan Jus, this was another great pairing. Granted this is a Cab that you could easily drink on its own it was a very nice food wine as well. Whats funny is I have had this wine sitting for a few years now because I bought it from my last job, working in restaurants has its perks...sometimes! Not every place will allow you to do this and even if they do, do your research first because you might be able to get the same wine for cheaper in the store depending on the sales that they have going on.
Aroma's of blueberry and casis with hints of chocolate, on the palate black cherry and stone fruit dance around with soft tannins and a very long finish.
