The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon from Amulet Estate’s ’75 Wine Company showcases the pedigree of Mendocino fruit sourced from the Beckstoffer family’s Feliz Creek Vineyard. This site, with gravelly loam soils and a warm Mediterranean climate, produces Cabernet of depth and character. In the glass, the wine reveals aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, lifted by floral notes of rose petal and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet approachable, with flavors of mission fig, cocoa, and cedar framed by polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent, marked by hints of mint and vanilla that add complexity. Its structure and fruit intensity make it an ideal partner for hearty fare such as braised short ribs, grilled ribeye, or lamb shank. Earth-driven dishes like morel mushroom risotto or roasted root vegetables also highlight the wine’s savory undertones, while aged cheeses such as cheddar or gouda provide a complementary richness.
