Matthew Joseph Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, dark burgundy color in the glass, hinting at the wine's depth. The deep brooding nose is classically Napa Valley Cabernet, with dominant flavors of black currant and cassis mingling with sweet tobacco and Chinese five spice. The mouth is intricately textured with broad, creamy tannins well-framed by fully integrated oak, supported by flavors of wild blackberries, saddle leather, and vanilla.
This is a serious Cabernet Sauvignon with a dark plum color. The palate is rich with mocha and cassis, backed with ripe cherry. It is a super extracted wine featuring huckleberry concentrate, brown sugar with roasted coffee and hazelnut notes. There is an underlying sweet oak flavor from extensive barrel aging (24 months) and the wine finishes with a long, supple, sappy French oak finish. This wine is a must with a mushroom crusted, seared filet mignon and a plum truffle sauce, served with English peas and saffron infused maui gold mashed potatoes.
A classic claret style; elegant and well-balanced on the palate; shows fine currant flavors, with a trace of sweet oak
One does not need to go far from the Pozzan Oakville Cuvee Zinfandel, well balanced with bright berry and an accent of sweet earth; frisky finish.
