About the wine
Rich and toasty, this Reserve Cab is a big flavor hug!
Big, meaty and bold, this is Cabernet you know and love with top-dollar treatment. We’re talking French oak barrels. Premium grapes. And that full, rich texture you love in the King of Reds.
With your funding, Evangelos could take his time on finishing touches with this Reserve – his very first! – even adding a splash of barrel-fermented Petite Sirah to give it extra pizzazz.
A full-finish red like this is great with an extravagant meal – but Evangelos says it’s just as incredible with a smoked turkey sandwich from your favorite deli. Order up!
Best before
The wine will drink great for another 5 -10 years. I'd say perfect in 2-3 years... but I couldn't wait that long. It tastes great now!
Serving advice
Make sure to aerate/decant this Reserve for at least half an hour before sipping. The wine will still be young and needs some air.
Food match
My personal favorite pairing is a smoked turkey sandwich from my favorite deli in Lodi, Tin Roof. It's also delicious with chicken cacciatore, prime rib, grilled lamb ribs or a big juicy steak.
