Wine of the Week!

2017 Cabernet Sauvignon⁠

Big, bold and generous, this Cabernet Sauvignon from Canvasback, the Washington brand for landmark producer @duckhornwine, is Red Mountain in a bottle. The namesake varietal is also blended with hits of Merlot, Mourvedre, Petit Verdot and Syrah to complete an aromatic profile of concentrated red berry, plum and cocoa with oak and baking spices on the fringe. Youthful and bright with plenty of tannic grip, the palate is supple, fruit-forward and layered. Perfect to pair with a grilled ribeye steak.⁠

Price: $42 | 14.7% ABV⁠
