This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon varietal captures the distinct terroir of Sonoma County, benefiting from low-vigor soils and a microclimate characterized by warm, sun-drenched days and cool evening breezes. Aged for 16 months in 60% new French oak, it pours a medium purple-ruby core with a luminous red rim. The aromatic profile unfolds gracefully with layers of dried strawberries, fresh and wilted red roses, crushed marionberries, and warm baking spices. On the palate, the wine delivers a lifted, precise, and mid-bodied texture where robust red and black fruits—notably strawberry, cassis, and plum preserves—intertwine with floral undertones. These flavors are grounded by an earthy note of damp autumn foliage, leading to a long, lingering finish framed by firm, grippy tannins that signify excellent aging potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eClassic pairings include grilled ribeye steak basted with rosemary butter or slow-braised beef short ribs served over creamy polenta, as the wine's structured tannins easily cut through the fat of the meat. It also pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast featuring a tart blackberry or cherry reduction, which mirrors the wine’s own marionberry and plum fruit profile. For a lighter approach, a charcuterie board stocked with sharp aged cheddar, smoked gouda, and cured meats like prosciutto provides the perfect salty contrast to the wine's floral and baking spice undertones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor's Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48109892141277,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/screen-shot-2026-03-21-at-12-04-09-pm-1774119864038.png?v=1782849784","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.com\/products\/topophilia-2022-sonoma-county-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
