Sourced from a sustainably farmed single vineyard in the Yountville AVA managed by the Bettinelli family, this 14.9% ABV red wine captures the slightly cooler nuances of its low-elevation terroir. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of tobacco leaf, black cherry, and gently herbal notes. The medium-to-full-bodied palate reveals layers of ripe mission fig, tart plum skin, and fresh marjoram, balanced by a core of ripe cherries. It features a fine, silky tannic texture and a bright, mouthwatering finish that lingers with notes of dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe structural elegance and fine-grained tannins of this Yountville Cabernet blend beautifully with roasted or grilled lamb dishes, such as herb-crusted rack of lamb or slow-braised lamb shanks seasoned with rosemary and garlic. The fresh marjoram notes and inherent acidity of the wine mirror savory elements in grilled prime ribeye or wood-fired steaks. Additionally, it complements a charcuterie board featuring mature and hard cheeses like aged Gouda, Manchego, or sharp cheddar, which cut through the wine's dark chocolate undertones and rich body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAnd here’s the part that makes this release genuinely special: we’re offering it at \u003cstrong style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e$49.99\u003c\/strong\u003e, a full \u003cstrong style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e$35 below the $84.99 MSRP\u003c\/strong\u003e.
