Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

California is considered to be the world's leading producer of first-class Cabernet Sauvignon with the most acclaimed wines coming from the Napa and Sonoma valleys, whose wines exhibit intense aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry, plum, cinnamon and tobacco. Oak aging lends characteristic notes of spice and toast.

The cool growing season enhanced this wine's supple structure of bright acidity and fine-grained tannins, making it immediately enjoyable with mellow cheeses and red meats, such as filet of beef tenderloin accompanied by a Yukon gold potato and fennel gratin. The fruit-focused aromas and flavors take center stage, while subtle vanilla oak and mocha nuances from barrel aging linger in the background
