About the wine
Special-edition Birthday Cabernet from your 2020 Winemaker of the Year Karen Birmingham
Elegant and inviting, this Cabernet is full of rich, dark fruit flavors, like a bite of ripe blueberry, and layered with warm toasty spice and vanilla from aging in French and American oak.
This Cabernet holds a special place in Karen’s heart. Your funding helped her source top-tier grapes from vineyards she’s worked with since she began her career in Lodi over 20 years ago – in return she’s made you a top-shelf Cabernet to help celebrate your special day.
This Cabernet is built to last. Take home a few bottles and open one for your birthday each year as the flavors continue to deepen and evolve with aging. That’s Karen’s plan!
Best before
Enjoy now, it's your birthday! This wine will also evolve with bottle aging - I can't wait to try next year too.
Serving advice
Be sure to use a decanter or aerator if you have one, or swirl the wine in your glass to air it out and let it open up for its full layers of flavor to unfold.
Food match
My personal favorite birthday treat is a BBQ New York steak with this Cabernet. But any red meats, a great burger with crispy fried onions or aged gouda would all go perfectly with this wine.
