Matchbook Red Gravel Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Dunnigan Hills, Yolo County, California, United StatesFrom Central Valley's Dunnigan Hills AVA, this is a 79/13/8 blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, and petit verdot, aged in a combination of French, Hungarian, and American oak for a year. It hits the glass with a black/red colour and a flush of somewhat tart black fruit flecked with black olive and smoky oak, dusted in spice and dried herbs. There is still tannin to disperse, but it is manageable and nothing a piece of grilled beef or a creamy mushroom sauce can’t handle.Tasted: 16 April 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
