David Akiyoshi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi 2013
About the wine
Rich and smokey medal-winning Californian Cab Sav
- This super limited barrel-aged Cab is downright mesmerizing, both in color (hello, crimson) and rich, ripe flavor. Don't just take our word for it, this bad-boy just picked up a medal at this year's IWC awards.
- You might not know California for its aged reds, but after this, you'll want to. David amplified this Lodi fruit and it's ready to play with the Napa premier league - at a quarter of the price.
- Think rich, toasty, and oh-so-savory. Best sipped with a flame-kissed ribeye - or, if you're feeling adventurous, chocolate covered bacon.
