Matchbook Red Gravel Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Dunnigan Hills, Yolo County, California, United StatesFrom the Dunnigan Hills AVA, this is a 77/13/8/2 blend of cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, malbec, petit sirah, all aged in French, Hungarian, and American oak for 12 months. The colour is black/red, the nose a smoky, black olive boysenberry affair, with a spicy dried herb finish. The finish is round and soft with dusty, mostly spent tannins. A perfect mid-week red for grilled beef tacos, hamburgers, and more. It seems more balanced than 2019 already.Tasted: 10 February 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
