The 2021 Veraison Cabernet opens with captivating anise aromas, cherry and peppery California bay leaf, offering a sense of place and character, followed by notes of juicy plum and cardamom. This wine envelopes the palate with a round, lush mouthfeel loaded with dark fruit flavors of black currant and blackberry, giving way to bay leaf and cinnamon. The luxurious finish echoes the wine’s first impression with a delicate encore of anise. Pair with duck breast in a bordelaise sauce, butternut squash ravioli, or roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and caramelized onions.
